Knit Picking!

Miamisburg Middle School officially got knit picked! Knit picking is a form of temporary graffiti that was born from the international sensation of yarn bombing. This year all grade levels participated by learning how to finger knit in their art classes. We asked for donated yarn, knitted sweaters, and knitted blankets and thanks to our volunteers we had a great turn out! 
For those that stayed after school to help knit pick we appropriately named them, Knit Wits. The whole purpose behind knit picking is to be anonymous since it is a form of graffiti so the Knit Wits had to create their own Knit Wit name and dress up as their alter ego. Some of the names included; BeYARNce, RhiYARNa, Captain Knitters, Sir Knits A Lot and many more!
Next year we are hoping for an even larger turn out and much more yarn! This was a fantastic way to help keep our school all warm and fuzzy : )
