Ever since ML did some wool crafts at after school care, she has been yarn crazy. We've got Dorothy Jean set up for knitting lessons later in the season, and I remembered my old Knit Magic (tm) machine from when I was just a bit older than Mei-Li. Of course I kept it! I dug it out, and the whole process was just like riding a bike (after I read the instructions I had so thoughtfully left in the box).
After my apprentice learned and practiced with the machine, she decided that Bear-Bear was due a winter outfit.

Mei-Li and I also made a multi-coloured mouse, because we are Crafting Queens!
ML's mouse just needs whiskers.
Later on we were Yarn Clean-up Queens. Ah, the price we pay for creativity!
So cool. Can't believe how much she got done for Bear Bear in one day. Pretty sure thats a rat she's holding ;)
ReplyDeleteOh man - I need one of those machines! Sure beats the holey patches of wool we knitted and purled together in the hopes of maybe making a blanket!
ReplyDeleteYour apprentice caught on quickly. She was able to accomplish a lot in one day. Nice work
ReplyDeleteshe's a quick study!
ReplyDeleteHooray! Knitting is awesome! Bear-Bear knows he is loved when he gets hand-knitted things.
