On Point went to visit the new generation of knitters at the the Chestnut Hill School outside Boston, Massachusetts. The elementary school students there have the opportunity to take an afterschool knitting class.

Lindsey, explaining how to do the basic knit stitch.

Teacher, Sara, explains how she started knitting, with student Jeremiah.

The knitting rhyme that helps Chestnut Hill's young knitters remember the stitch.

The finer points of the difference between crocheting and knitting sparked a lot of debate at Chestnut Hill School's knitting classs.

so sorry I missed the show, we just had a totally awesome knit & crochet event “convention” here in Pittsburgh. Over 2500 attended from across the US. Knitting is definitely making a comeback, I would have loved to add comments for your show. Keep up the good work! Barb Grossman
