knitting together and gathering stripes


You know, I love knitting (no surprise there). But knitting is even better when you are knitting together. And especially great when knitting together with a small child.

My older son has just learned to knit and he's so proud of this new skill. And he loves it too! He has knit many, many worms (takes 10 stitches and three rows - and it's ready!) and a some other small things. This scarf is the first thing we made together - every now and then he asked if he could knit a row or two and I passed the needles to him. How sweet is that!

I'm sure there's no scarf I would love more.




Then I have a new pattern for you and your little ones -
