waldorf school

I am adventuring down a long road-going to school-trying to get a waldorf teaching certificate.
I started school 2 weeks ago and so far I am loving it!!-There is a lot to soak in, a lot of new concepts and ideas swirling around in my head but It is a real nice change to my very busy week.

Here is what I made in my knitting class.
The first week we made our own knitting needles. We cut the dowel rods, sanded them down, and polished with beeswax-then she taught the class to knit. (because I have been knitting so long, I went ahead and finished the sleeping bag and made the doll)

believe it or not, this is what the kids will make in first grade at the Chicago Waldorf School-wow!!!!

leftovers dishcloth pattern

Here is the pattern for my leftovers dishcloth .

worsted weight cotton-3 different colors
size #3 needles

co 29 stitches with yarn you have the most yardage (yarn 1)
knit 4 rows

change to new color (yarn 2)-do not cut any yarn-just carry it up the side
row 1 k1, p1 (repeat to end)
row 2 p1, k1 (repeat to end)

change to new color (yarn 3)
repeat row 1&2

change back to (yarn 1)
repeat row 1&2

repeat unil you are about to use yarn 1 for the 8th time and instead of k1,p1-
knit 4 rows
bind off

Let me know if you make one-or post it on ravelry.
