That girl was me yesterday. I taught five eager beaver students (aka as the Posie bunch) how to knit and crochet there little hearts away.
We had so much fun. Including this little man who spent the day tangling and knotting up the balls. After seeing how he could work his magic in a matter of seconds with this ball, I quickly put the lovely soft alpaca that Jennie had bought up out of his reach (they are on the microwave Jennie.)
They did so well, Some ended there crocheting skills at chain and were happy with a bracelet. But Jennie now has the skills to show and help them at home (which was her main aim, and maybe a little couch crafting time) Her darling husband popped home for lunch and asked "when will you be as fast as Kylie?" Give her time I say (or watch out if the five of them put there heads together!) Looking forward to our next holiday session. Knitting in the round and hexagons and flowers here we come!
More photos of the finished products over at Jennie's. Be certain to pop into Our Creative Spaces and see what other crafty happenings have been happening.
And if you are a fan of Julia Roberts (and even if you aren't) Have a look at this practical joke that Joker Tom Hanks played on Co Star and Friend on her love of knitting.
How funny is that video. Who'd have thought that Julia was a knitter!
ReplyDeleteLove that Julia quote, too true & so lucky you're THAT girlfriend!! Had a ball (literally) with you teaching us all what to do with yarn yesterday, the girls have all been crocheting in the car today & one persisting with her knitting, my boy even hand crocheting!! Can't wait to learn more next holiday, thanks, love Posie
