Student Work from All Around the Globe

This spring, AHP Knitter-in-Residence Claire Wagner, known to the community simply as "The Knitter," led her students through the challenging project of knitting their first vest. It was a complex task, but Claire kept her students motivated to the finish! This photo shows a vest made by Kate, from Maryland.

Students also completed other clothing items, like this hat and scarf by Elisabeth from Canada. Elisabeth plans on making many more of these hats for Christmas presents this year.

"I am most grateful for the teaching by a very devoted and kind teacher. [Claire] went the extra mile to provide extra lessons to me to ensure that I could keep up with the class as I joined mid-way and I was a complete beginner."

Claire teaches students how to work with mistakes and to not waste any work. This cushion-turned-bag is one of Lorraine's favorite projects she has knitted.
Lorraine consistently attends Claire's knitting class from the U.K. – despite the time difference! – and has declared herself now a life-long dedicated student of Claire's.
