Goodnight has not been fond of knitting. She’s young and that’s okay. She should be interested in lots of things, but I wanted to teach her something that I know how to do. She can always come back to it later in life and say, “My Gram taught me how to knit.”
Late last year, on a trip to Smalltownville, we passed through another town that had a yarn shop I had never seen before. We went in and I started looking around. Pretty soon GN skipped over to me and asked me if she could make a scarf for herself. I told her she could if she was interested, but my rule is that she has to finish it if she starts it.
SHE FINISHED HER SCARF!!!!!
She’s been working on it as she had time between homework, basketball, Drama Club, and Student Council meetings. She finished it last night and I asked her to pose for a photo. She agreed and promptly wrapped herself up in her work.
I know . . . I didn’t show the entire scarf, but that’s because I was looking at the smile on her face. Way to go, Honey!

The scarf is lovely, as is she.
Renna: Thank you.
Lots of bright colors. And she looks pretty pleased with herself.
Congrats to GD – fine looking stitch tension.
pretty scarf, pretty girl!
