AS PROMISED

Like I posted yesterday, I spent pretty much the entire day with the Papoose and the Sprout. The Papoose is always fascinated by my knitting, she will pick up a piece of yarn and run it through her fingers, saying “I’m knitting”. She also has a toy that is big wooden beads on a string that can be strung and unstrung and she’ll put them on and take them off, all the while saying, “Look! I’m knitting!” In keeping with my belief that you’re never too young or too old to learn something new, I fixed her up a real, live knitting bag with some old, wooden, blunt size 13 needles and three balls of some scrap yarn – pink, green and blue. She was so proud! Like I said, never too young. I cast on a few stitches for her and she played around with “knitting” most of the day. Here’s my favorite photo from yesterday –
