Craft Club here I come!

I got an e-mail from the Craft Council at the end of last week asking if I wanted to attend a free training day for Craft Club Volunteers - an excuse to knit all day? Well, I'm not likely to turn that down am I? The training is associated with the "Knit 1, Pass it on" initiative to get volunteers into schools to do something crafty with yarn. It doesn't have to be knitting, but it's quite a good starting place - particularly as the website, "Craft Club, Knit 1 Pass It On", has some cracking ideas and patterns to get you started. Anyone can do this - you don't have to have experience working in school or teaching, you don't even have to be an expert knitter. The Craft Club is aiming to bring together a variety of people with different skills who share a common interest in getting crafts back into school. If you want to find out a bit more or register an interest just follow the link - and welcome to the knitting revolution!

PS. Thanks to the Craft Club trainers for a fab, inspiring day!
