I did something a little crazy

Crochet 🧶
1

So my husband is a before/after school care teacher but also runs the summer program for these kids when school is out. They take from Kinder to 5th grade. I decided to ask his kids to draw what they think I should crochet next. When I tell you these kids came up with some crazy things :joy: So now I’m sitting here trying to figure out how I’m going to make patterns for some of these but the challenge is super exciting :joy: I just had to share as I’m sitting here waiting for fireworks to start, crocheting my first item lol

Also, kudos to your husband! Male teachers, good ones, are sorely needed in that area.

Yes! Sadly there’s a big stigma on it so it sometimes makes it rather hard on him to do his job without people being afraid of him doing harm :pensive_face:

As long as he takes certain precautions he can keep himself above reproach.
