Finger knitting

Today myself and my 5 year old twin girls have been learning to finger knit.

I have been wanting to do it with them for a while but thought it would take a long time to teach them.

 How wrong I was!

None of us had done it before, so I searched on you tube and found a simple tutorial that even I could understand. I had the instructions in a book too, but found the tutorial easier.

 And as for my girls, well what naturals!!

I couldn't believe how quickly they picked it up and were soon telling me to go away because they could do it themselves and didn't need my help.

They really enjoyed it and didn't want to stop, only trouble was it was dinner time.

 I wasn't sure what to do with it while they ate, so I had a think and we ended up putting the knitting onto pencils.

Straight after dinner they asked to carry on, which to be honest isn't like them, they have usually forgotten by the time they have eaten dinner. 

So finger knitting definitely has the thumbs up from us.

I better get some more yarn, I think we could be doing a lot of this, and then all we have to do know is work out what to do with metres of finger knitting.

Walking through the garden...

...to find the remains of the children's play yesterday.

It did make me smile as I walked around the garden to see where they had put things and what they had made.

It made me wonder what they were playing yesterday, what they were imagining and it took me back to my childhood, which gave me a warm feeling.

It made me so happy.
