I always seem to end up expecting Tyo to just DO something, and get impatient when she wants me to baby her along. /sigh.

When I have taught adults to knit it wasn't quite as fun... there was excitement at first but not at the same level, and they were more easily frustrated and trying to doing everything just perfect.Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-29630842468706645932013-07-10T09:38:17.837-04:002013-07-10T09:38:17.837-04:00thanks Peter!

I give her a threaded needle, knotted so it won't come out of the eye, and scrap fabric. She has a lot of fun stitching it all together in a muddled mess. And it gives me a bit of time to finish a few more seams.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964580963048511157noreply@blogger.com
