This week I read in an Irish magazine about a knitting bus - how fab is that? The bus is chock full of knitting stuff and will be going around primary schools to teach little ones how to knit. The best thing is that there are 1,000 older volunteers across the country (connected to the University of the Third Age) who will join the bus in various locations and teach the children how to knit. 150 schools have already signed up for the bus to go to their school. I love the idea of older people sharing their skills with the younger generation, (to risk a pun..) it could knit a community together.
