Knitting Nell
Nell knits...a lot. What Nell doesn't do is talk a lot. She listens to her friends chat and laugh, and she knits some more.
What her friends don’t know about her unusual hobby is that Nell’s knitting provides soft blankets for new babies and warm socks, hats, and mitts for the children’s home. That is, until Nell is awarded a medal for her dedication and good works, and her friends gain new appreciation for their quiet friend!

Description
"Nell is a busy young knitter, but because she has a quiet voice and a hobby that doesn't engender much excitement, she takes a back seat to her friends. Nell is not just knitting for herself; much of her knitting time is spent making scarves, blankets, and mittens for those in need. When the sweater that she enters in the county fair earns a blue ribbon and she gets a special medal for her good works, both Nell and her hobby become a lot more popular." -- Ilene Cooper, Booklist.
