  • Spool Knitting
    Spool knitting by Angie This is a very old craft that can be used to make many items – from lanyards, flowers and keyrings, to hats. Children often find it engaging, but it is be an easy and relaxing hobby for anyone. And once learned, the technique can be applied to similar forms of knitting. Also known as corking, French knitting (English knitting in France), or mushroom knitting, at its simplest, this craft uses a basic wood or plastic spool, with a hole down the centre and an array of pins on the top. Lucets, which were invented by the Vikings, are the historical origin of this kind of knitting. They are made of wood and have two arm-like horns. They are used to make strong, flat braid. Spool knitters make round braid. The working technique is the same. Spools knitters can be made of old wooden cotton thread reels with four nails hammered into the top. Round-headed finishing nails or cotter pins can also be used. The centre channel should be sanded or filed, so that the yarn doesn't catch. A large wooden bead, with one end cut down slightly, can also be used. Several toy and craft companies make plastic or wood knitters. They usually have between three and six pins and come equipped with a knitting tool, usually made of metal. Larger versions of knitters, with dozens of pins, are made of plastic or wood, either round, rectangular or in an “S” shape, and are called loom knitters. The knitting technique is the same for all and they're used to make circular or longer items, such as scarves, sweaters and afghans.

  • Passing on Needlework Skills to Young People
    CT-MMB.700 PASSING ON NEEDLEWORK SKILLS TO YOUNG PEOPLE Why should we pass needlework skills on to young people? Don't they have enough to do with school, sports, music lessons, TV, and video games? And besides, it's so easy to buy needle crafted items at the store—the ones imported from overseas. Before you answer these questions, think about why you enjoy doing needlework yourself. We live in an age of technology and because of this, many parents have failed to see the importance of teaching handwork to their children. Family sociology has changed, families are spread out across the country, and the tradition of passing heritage skills from one generation to the next has almost been lost. Thankfully, the needle arts are experiencing a renewal, and many adults are learning the skills that were abandoned when they were growing up. Needlework includes knitting, crochet, quilting, embroidery, needlepoint, tatting/lacework, and rug making. Simply put, it is handwork that requires some sort of needle or tool and thread or yarn to create an item of decorative or practical use. The benefits of teaching young people needlework are numerous. Handwork develops focus and concentration. It encourages following a process in order to complete a project. It enhances critical thinking and math skills. It increases hand/eye coordination, small motor skills, and builds self-esteem. Moreover, it provides a means to promote healthy, interpersonal relationships between adults and children. Studies show that young people are less likely to engage in risky behaviors when they are bonded to trusted adults.1 Pointers for successfully working with young people Patience is the key when is comes to working with children.

  • Translated by Wordport from Xywrite-III Document SSK.TXT
    USA SPEED SKATING OLYMPIC HISTORY US Olympic History: Speed skating has been the United States’ best sport at the Winter Olympics in terms of medals won, for both men and women. Through 2010 the US has won 67 medals in speed skating, compared to 47 in figure skating and 39 in Alpine skiing. The men have won 40 medals, against 17 in bobsledding and 15 in figure skating and Alpine skiing, while the women have won 27 medals, with 24 in Alpine skiing and 23 in figure skating. The absolute hero of American speed skating is, of course, Eric Heiden, considered the greatest speed skater of all-time, based on his heroics in the 1978-80 period, capped by winning all 5 individual gold medals at the Lake Placid Olympic Games. Among women, however, Bonnie Blair even surpasses Heiden with 6 Olympic medals, 5 of them gold, the most by any American woman in any sport, with Blair winning her medals at 3 Winter Olympics – 1988-1992-1994. There have been many other US speed skating stars, starting in 1932 when Jack Shea and Irving Jaffee each won 2 gold medals at Lake Placid. More recently, Derek Parra and Chad Hedrick won multiple medals in 2002 and 2006. Shani Davis has become the world’s top mid-distance skater in the last 10 years, winning gold medals in the 1,000 metres in 2006-10 and silver medals those years in the 1,500. He returns in 2014, trying to become the first male speed skater to ever win the same event at three consecutive Olympics (Blair did it in the 500 metres in 1988-94).
