Our homeschool has had a few gaps in it since Calvin's arrival has kept me a little preoccupied. One of the ways Twinkle Toes (9) and Mealse (7) have filled some of their spare time is with knitting. Their grandma gave them knitting lessons last summer and our housekeeper has been helping them when she's here, too. Once they seemed to be getting the hang of it, Grandma bought them fancy yarn so they could make winter scarves. The girls are very proud of their progress and are hoping to finish up their scarves before the first snowfall.
What do you think? I'm impressed! I never learned to knit... or crochet... or sew... or do anything crafty! Debbie from
A Journey in Motherhood and her kids came over Saturday and her daughter showed the girls how to finger-crochet. They've been busy making necklaces and bracelets in every color this week. It's so nice that my blog friend and her family have moved here and become our friends in real life! What a blessing!
Thank you, Celee! We all had such a fun time on Saturday. It is also nice to have friends like you in the same town.
ReplyDeleteThe finger knitting thing was new to me. Kara just showed me a couple of days ago her new found craft while making Emily a necklace. It's kinda funny how some crafty kids just teach themselves.
