Teaching a five year old to knit...
Yesterday morning and this morning I spent some time teaching five year old Harvest to knit. He has a short attention span and I have to teach him right handed knitting when I am a left handed knitter but it is really fun. He loves it! I sit him between my legs and our hands do it together. He likes me to firmly and deliberately lead his hands through the steps. Today I told him that pretty soon he won't need my hands at all!
I bought him the most adorable knitting needles in the world. :)

And mine is done without the hood. :) LOVE those needles.
How totally wonderful! It's so awesome that you are teaching him this. He must be psyched. :)
ReplyDeleteThat picture of you two is the sweetest thing ever.
Love your header. How nice it is to have them close by and nestled in wanting to learn.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I can't wait to teach my 3 year old how to knit, she is already swiping my needles. :)
