mittens in the making...

 'mom, i want to make some mittens'
she was holding up a ball of yarn and a crochet hook.

i have tried to teach her how to crochet a couple of times but it was always a little too difficult and she didn't last too long.

mittens, hmmm...

we started with just a simple chain.
i showed her once and she figured it out.
 love it!!
she decided to just make me a bracelet and next time we would work on the mittens

next time...

  6. Yay for Ella! Her chain bracelet turned out beautifully! Last year, one of my student's grandma made me a super cool scarf of which the length was made entirely of chain.

  7. This is so incredibly sweet! I was just taught a new knitting pattern by a friend who learned in school when she was six! If your daughter's anything like my friend, she'll be a MASTER when she grows up! :)
