New Knitter
Last week while we were all sick, Lorelei asked me to teach her to knit. She's showing a great amount of patience and diligence. I taught her the little knitting rhyme, "In through the front door, run around back, out through the window, off jumps jack." She's still using "training wheels," but I think in no time she will be knitting up her very own scarves.
When I was sick in bed, a day or so later, Jamey sent this to me in Yahoo Chat. (Too sick to knit, but I couldn't just sleep the sick away).
Micci asks are we going to the yarn store…. 11:23 AM
I ask why… 11:23 AM
and he says because it’s lori’s birthday… 11:23 AM
Lori says it’s my birthday and I want yarn because I know how to knit… 11:23 AM
ROFLMAO 11:23 AM
you have created a monster 11:23 AM
Mwhahaha!
I love it. So yesterday was Lorelei's fifth birthday and we took her to Hobby Lobby (she can wait for the nice high end fibers). She picked out some yarn (she took after me and loaded up her arms with yarn...Dad made her pick two), a pink skein of cotton and a variegated pink and purple skein of cotton. And I found her some of her very own needles.
This will be a nice part of our homeschooling day: a knitting lesson.
