Sander is an eight-year-old boy who is on a task to break the world record for finger knitting, a type of knitting done without needles. The last count of Sanders knitting string was 188 meters, though it is much longer now. Knitting has created interest among Sanders classmates in Berthoud. “Max, Jacob, Anoka, Rheine, and Josh have helped Sander add to the going-for-the-world-record knitting,” said the teacher. So many different people have contributed to the task, and it is colorful. “It looks like a giant beautiful butterfly. The girls at school help him by knitting in colors.”Sanders interest in knitting originated not only from his mothers influence, but from Lisa Bauer, who teaches knitting at Berthoud Library. Bauers love of knitting began as a child, and became stronger and stronger. As a former school teacher, Bauer has done research on the benefits of introducing children to knitting. “Knitting makes talkative children quiet, and helps them pay attention to what they are doing. It offers children pleasure in the course, and when they finally finish a piece of knitting, they get excited and are satisfied.” Bauer said, “Using both hands makes children smarter, by stimulating a lot of different nerve centers in the brain.” To pass time while riding in the car, watching TV, or listening to the radio at home, Sander often knits. While not working on breaking world records, Sander enjoys knitting, lying in a hammock (吊床) between two branches of his homes apple tree. It provides a perfect place for finger knitting!5.
