Yes, this is about knitting again.

(For those of you who have been following my blog, you know that knitting pops up every now and again; please bear with me.)

But this is a new kind of knitting story.

Last night, my children asked me to teach them how to knit. Expecting them to lose both interest and patience quickly, I cast on a few stitches for them, showed them the basics, then let them go to it.

They surprised me with their determination and patience.

And so we knit, all three of us, cuddled on the couch.
