In the green and glorious state of Vermont, where maple syrup flows like rivers and every cow is named Bessie, there's a gang of extraordinary kids who are redefining the art of knitting. In this land of rolling hills and bobbing bobcats, a group of young lads and lasses gather around in their cozy woolen socks, carrying their magical weapons – knitting needles! Meet the "Knitting Ninjas", led by their quirky and energetic Captain, Percival Purl. Percy, as he's known among his friends, is a loveable, freckle-faced eleven-year-old with a wild shock of red hair. Always seen in his favorite sweater, a patchwork of colors knitted from the wool of every Bessie in Vermont, Percy's mission is to teach everyone the ancient and noble art of knitting. Don't be fooled by their age or the clacking sound of their needles. These warriors of wool craft the most fabulous creations – from rainbow scarves that keep you warm on the chilliest days, to beanies that could make a bald eagle jealous. Their knitting skills are so legendary that it's said if you listen carefully on a quiet summer night, you might just hear the whispers of the wind talking about their latest masterpieces. In Vermont, where Autumn leaves crunch underfoot, and Winter's breath paints the trees in frost, these adventurous children are making the world warmer, one stitch at a time. So, if you happen to visit this beautiful state, remember to chuckle at the sight of a cow named Bessie and wave a hello to Percy and his squad, the "Knitting Ninjas"!
