when i caught my 4 yr old
‘knitting’ along where i left off
i thought, “maybe she’s ready to learn”.
wanting to start her off right,
i pulled out some
girly pink
malabrigo and
needles of a decent size.
after knitting
the first two rows
(known to be the trickiest)
i handed the whole
kit and kaboodle
off to her.
and it
quickly became
clear that she had other
things in mind altogether.
poor pink worsted wound up
on the linoleum floor
with a rogue cheerio that her 20 month old brother discarded.
maybe she’ll be ready to really appreciate a fine yarn by next year.
