PEARLAND, Texas (KTRK) -- A popular new club at Alvin ISD's McNair Junior High has some making jokes!
"My cousin is like, 'Oh, so you're a grandma now?'" laughed 12-year-old Audrey Tran.
Members of the school's new knitting club call themselves the McNair McKnitsters.
School nurse Tanya Hardin has been knitting for years and started the club a few months ago.
"I had a little sign-in sheet and six kids signed up," Hardin explained. "I thought that is a totally small number to be able to accomplish this."
In just a few weeks, the group of six turned into a group of 90.
Some students even come during the summer for extra practice and fun.
"I don't think it's just for grandmas," explained 12-year-old Layla Williams. "I think it's a really good way to not sit on your phone all day."
