The latest rage among elementary schools is to send out Flat Stanley (from the horrifying story where a kid gets squashed flat by the bulletin board hanging over his bed and then can slide under doors and fold himself up in envelopes and such). My cousin recently asked me to do this, and I thought you might like to see what Stanley did on his day in Seattle. If you see any glaring omissions of Seattle-specific things that would be interesting to fourth graders, please let me know.

Why Wild Swan?
In The Wild Swans by HC Anderson, a girl must knit sweaters for her 12 brothers-turned-swans to make them human again, in the short time before she is to be burned as a witch, and she must do it with her bare hands using stinging nettles. In addition to being a very exciting example of knitting in fairy tales, it sums up the essence of knitting; though painfully frustrating at times, it is always worthwhile.

I like not having to sign into blogger. Flat Stanley looks like he had a blast in Seattle! I find that crocheting bothers me a great deal as well.
