It’s about time I give you an update on Sweetness and Light, since we haven’t visited them in a while.
It’s been a rather rough winter for all of us. There’s been very little snow, which makes it hard for us to go out and play outside… snow is much more fun to play in when it’s cold than going to playgrounds. As a result I’ve been having to scrape the bottom of the barrel finding ways to keep them entertained. There’s only so many days we can go into the city to see the Smithsonian or even go the the Airplane Museum, which is closer to home.
(On a side note, Mrs. D, as she’s known at the College Park Library, is amazing)
Hence, Sweetness and I have been working on our knitting. She’s coming along nicely. We still haven’t learned purling, but she’s developed on her own a style of knitting that’s a little Picking and a little Throwing, and a lot her own.
Light has decided she wants to learn. Now, I’m all for teaching kids early, but Light is 2 1/2 (the half is important!) and not quite there yet. She’s sit in my lap for ten minutes and work with both our hands on the needles, but that’s about it. Which is actually quite impressive that she lasts for ten minutes. Then she’ll take up her own needles, and “pretend” to knit.
Well, I couldn’t help snapping this picture the other day, when I realized the picture we made.
