About Kelly
I learned knitting from Grandmothers at age 8. I’ve done crafts and knitting and off for years, and really came back to it over the past few years and want to share this relaxing skill with others.
I like to teach people “hand knitting” first, in small groups. Our first projects focus on beautiful, achievable pieces like shawls and blankets. After that we move on to advanced skills in knit and purl, then into crochet.
I’m casual and hands on in class. I’ll sit with you and help you.
Happy Knitting to All!!!

The Paper Chain of Kindness by Tracey Roegiers
Meet the author, learn some yoga and start your own paper chain during this story time with our special guest Tracey Roegiers.

The Paper Chain of Kindness follows Tommy, a kindhearted student, as he eagerly participates in the making of a classroom kindness chain. Each act of kindness earns a colorful link on a chain displayed on the classroom wall. As the chain grows, the students become excited to see their kindness recognized. By the end of the year, the chain wraps around the classroom, like a hug, symbolizing the impact of their actions. The story teaches young readers about the importance of kindness, teamwork, empathy, and how even small actions can lead to positive change.
