The other moms in the park will be so envious!

Look at this wee blankie! This was made by the elementary children at Elaine's school, with a bit of help from parents and teachers, for the principal's upcoming baby.
















I thought at first it would be too wussie, too pale and wan (10 points if you recognize "pale and wan") but now I think it is gorgeous, warts and all.
















We found a crocheter.
















One kid got a bit over-excited and had to be reined in.
















One kid was a bit late, but that worked out well.
















But the really super-cool thing is that they were all willing to part with their masterpieces to make this project together.

The parents, when asked, said, "Oh, but I don't knit," but the kids just learned to knit and did their best. (Note to self: teach beginners how to catch dropped stitches; that they should count every once in a while; and that sometimes it's a good idea just to rip and redo!)

The kids presented it to her yesterday at the graduation event. If I had spoken, I would have gushed a lot more, but it was right at the end and everyone was a bit antsy!

Ta da!
