She is so crafty and arty and creative it seems like this should be the next step. She loves sewing, and with minimal help has made a number of stitches creations. Knitting however just hasn’t been easy.
We have started three or four times.
I cast on, we have a chat about the process, I demonstrate, we do some stitches together, I gradually withdraw support, she does a couple of stitches then wants to know when she will ‘be done’.
Two lines and we run out of steam
I thought making squares that we could turn into a scarf would at least bring faster gratification, but no, just two rows in and she was bored senseless.
Then, through a bit of research, I discovered finger knitting!
She took to it immediately. It is my room 5 minutes to learn, and in about half an hour she had managed to make a (very thin) scarf 🙂
She was delighted, and hopefully, it can be a stepping stone to bigger and better projects as she gets older?
