Fingerknitting September 2, 2010

Elle has learned how to fingerknit and she is really happy about it–can you tell?

Ever since learning on Tuesday, she has spent several hours in various locations contentedly knitting.  The first couple hours were full of her excitedly chatting while knitting and grinning from ear to ear.  “I just can’t stop smiling, mom, because I’m so happy that I can knit!”

I think it is reasonable to expect that if you have a birthday coming up, you will probably be receiving a ‘scarf’ from her. 

Maceo already got his.

 Yay for having another knitter in the house!
