My darling daughter has gone through the Ravelry pattern index with a fine tooth comb, spending literally hours navigating the site and drooling all over the keyboard. She's added a bunch of things to my favorites list, all toys she just knows I am going to make for her, heh. I really need to teach her to read a pattern, because once she can, she will be unstoppable! And it will be so gratifying for her to be able to fulfill all her fiber lusts. And she should do that now, when she has the kind of leisure time that nine-year-olds do!
This picture, a few years old, is of her first completed knitting project. She's getting quite good at knitting now; she can do it naturally while watching television, paying half attention. She just started her first real-size (most of her projects have been for her knitted dolls before now) scarf. She picked out the colors and she talks about how she is going to wear it this fall. It's to die for cute. After finally creating a craft blog for her, at her persistent urging, I have done a crappy job of keeping up with her creative output. It is way behind on logging, but I haven't even gotten all my own projects and stash updated, sheesh. One of these days, it really will happen.
She's a girl after my own heart, with her reading and fiber obsessions. I need to teach her to get pics off the camera, upload them to the web host, and blog them to her blog, as well as teach her to read patterns. Heh! Blogging 101 for 9 year-olds. I wonder if there is community interest.
