Annette likes to pick up my knitting or yarn and say that she’s “knitting”. Today I decided to take a picture… Looks like she’s got the knitting pose perfected, just look at that… feet up, knitting on her lap, needles in hands, eyes intent on the knitting. Awww… I hope to teach her to knit some day. She’ll have to get her own stash, though.
That’s the beginning of the back piece for Jess, for my mum. Haven’t finished Buttercup yet (I’m up to the sleeves now), but I’ve been itching to start on Jess and just couldn’t fight the startitis. There are so many things that I want to start! I’ve signed up for sew? I knit!, with the quilted theme. I’ve been wanting to start sewing for ages, and perhaps signing up to this sew-along will give me the push that I need. I’m thinking of making quilted bags, perhaps a knitting bag for me, and a quilted backpack for Annette. And I also want to knit some hats for my nephews. And then last Saturday I went to Tapestry Craft to get circulars for making Jess, and I somehow left with not only needles, but also a ball of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino. I’m thinking of making Fetching from Knitty. Oh wait. No, I’m not thinking about making Fetching, I’ve already started.
And on the way home, I passed by Lincraft, and walked out with these:
Ribbons, lace, twill tape, and braided cord. Might come in handy for the bag making.

Annette is too cute! She’s clearly been studying you closely.
My older daughter once told me she has invented crocheting – just to leave her alone (because I wanted to show her how). She looked so sweet trying to crochet a chain. Just like your Annette! Those are precious moments!
Oh yes, Fetching is very …er…fetching. I can see the appeal. Ahhh so many things to knit, so little time… :o) Annette is gorgeous. I taught my two girls to knit when they were young, but they didn’t keep it up. It is only now that they are back into it again. It’s great to sit with your daughter/s and knit together. :o)
I’m sorry, you can’t get away with posting cuteness like that on the internet. She’s too darling!
What a cute little knitter. I learned to knit when I was 4 years old, so who knows when she learns? Maybe soon? 😉 Love your blog btw, but I’ve just been looking until now 🙂
Now there’s a sight to warm a mothers heart!! She’s adorable 🙂 And it doesn’t take them long to get their own stash, trust me. Em’s is even mostly pretty good quality! I first taught her to knit when she was 6 or so, but I’d have to re-teach her every 6 months or so. It’s only really caught her attention in th elast year or so.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww! That is SO cute.
Yummy ribbon! Looks like mother, like daughter? 🙂
That just might be the cutest thing ever! And it looks like Jess is coming along nicely. Can’t wait to see more.
