Did You Know......

Did you know that a trip to the local yarn store is an educational experience??

It is!!

We took a little break from our school day to take Big Daddy to his carpool ride and the yarn store was just around the corner.  Since I needed to pick up some yarn for baby hats, we stopped in.

Earlier this morning when I told the girls we would be going, they started explaining how it would still be like doing school.  Here are some of their explanations:

Art:  Obviously

Math:  How much yardage does your pattern require?  How many skeins of your chosen yarn will you need?

Science:  What type of fiber is the yarn made of?  How do the types of fiber differ from one another?

Language Arts:  You need to know how to read so that you can read the labels.

History:  Considering all of the people before us who have been doing fiber arts, spinning yarn, etc.

Critical Thinking:  If you don't want to use the yarn listed in the pattern, what yarn can you use to substitute?
