We often hear about students surprising their teachers with end-of-year gifts, but we recently spoke with a U.K. educator whose creativity gave that tradition a delightful twist. She decided to share her hidden talent for crocheting by creating unique handmade gifts for all of her students.
Each one was personalized, reflecting her dedication to making her students feel special as they wrapped up the school year. Curious as to her inspiration, we asked her to share some more details about the process.
Sara Shabir is a primary school teacher in Oxford. She taught herself to crochet during the COVID lockdown.
