Senior Projects

This is a brown fleck cowl/gator/neck warmer knitted as a high school project.  It's soft and really nicely done.  This is a first project for high school senior Samantha W from C.K. McClatchy High School in Sacramento, California.

I need to improve Stella's face.  I am not an artist ...by then you could tell that, the minute you saw her face.  The styrofoam head is useful for modeling hats etc.  I named her Stella long long ago and attempted to give her a face...

I wanted to show you how the cowl/gator/neckwarmer keeps the neck warm.  It's large enough to be pulled up over one's mouth and nose, and or come down a bit on the shoulders for added warmth.  The pretty soft brown fleck yarn makes it versatile for either men or women. 

Samantha is, as I mentioned a high school senior.  One of their requirements is to write a proposal of something they want to do that is a challenge.  She decided that learning to knit would be her challenge because it requires patience and concentration; and once knitted she would donate to a worth cause and found us, Bridge and Beyond doing  a search.

Nice work Samantha, enjoy the remainder of your Senior Year and best of luck with whatever your life holds for you after graduation.
