Rowena Jongeward and Roseanne Lindenmuth have persevered through the storms and stress of Middle School, and they even had 100% engagement at one point last year with Angel, CC, Julia, Madison, Storm, Cordell, Eugene, and Katherine (and Forney!). CC, picking up double-stitch crochet faster than it takes me time to type it, made most of the headbands given on Elders Day 2011.
This year, the 5th and 6th grade girls are now rocking the knitting circle regularly, and Julia has been our leader, creating hats with rib-stitch, purses with stripes, and washcloths with cat patterns.
I have so much appreciation and admiration for Miss Rowena and Miss Roseanne for their dedication, perseverance, and generosity, donating their time and energy to teach the Quileute youth knitting, crocheting, needlework, and "ha-has" like:
A cop pulled alongside a speeding car on the highway, and he saw that the woman behind the wheel was knitting. The trooper cranked down his window and yelled, "PULL OVER!" The knitter yelled back, "NO!! IT'S A SCARF!"
