On the needles.
Last week, my reluctant knitter surprised me. She began to knit.
I shouldn’t have been surprised at all, really. It’s the way she’s always done everything. She thinks about things, silently studies them. She gives them a brief try, then puts them down for a loooong time, and ponders. When she’s ready, she’s off like a rocket. And not only quick and focused, but proficient:
She inspired her little sister, who took out her basket and sat down alongside and knit away. {notice how each girl not only chose her favourite colour, but was wearing it as well. 🙂 }
Knitting continued all evening until bed time. Caroline’s striped blanket for her new room in her signature earthy colourway – greens and browns.
Sophie working on a skinny scarf for her big sister Cat, to thank her for the gift of her fully-stocked knitting basket on her last birthday.
It’s a good thing we raise sheep. We now have four knitters in the house.
