In this article, the author talks about the Westwood Elementary's knitting and crochet club. The idea for this group unraveled when one of their third graders received a knitting kit as a birthday gift. The mother of the student told the author what a wonderful hobby knitting had become for her daughter and how this craft worked to help develop fine motor skills, how it forced a child to use both sides of his or her brain, and how it even involved some math. With their first afghan, they aimed to build a character by teaching students to knit for service and create afghans to be donated to a person in need.
