"C'est quoi ca?" I told him I was knitting. "Tricot? COOL! Can you teach me?" I was so thrilled that he wanted to learn (a boy!) but after ten min he lost interest 'cus it wasn't as quick gratification as his video games.<br /><br />Good luck passing it on to the kiddies!<br /><br />p.s. my word verification is "redheat" Nice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981008103933564118.post-38253727263966034472010-01-21T16:37:01.803-05:002010-01-21T16:37:01.803-05:00Don't give up on Emilie and for christ's s...Don't give up on Emilie and for christ's sake don't have her knit a SCARF! If she knits you a coaster (small...squarish... FAST) she may be more inclined to not give up.<br /> Also, dude...she's what 6? Just keep making it available. OR get her a spool knitter to encourage the yarn love at a more fun pace. there is a Scholastic or Kids Can Press book on spool knitting and things to do with the I-cord.Ali Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015782002583625223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981008103933564118.post-11858599371080044252010-01-20T11:41:51.335-05:002010-01-20T11:41:51.335-05:00Great stash I must say!!!

I also have to much and already sorted out the yarn were I knew I wouldn´t work with and gave it to a local craft store where kids can do craft classes. But I still have enough and so I keep knitting until everything is knitted.<br /><br />And I think it´s great that you teach your daughter to knit. The picture looks like the picture of you and your grandmother. Tradition continues. ;-)LavenderStarfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841543930171413433noreply@blogger.com
