"My mama knit these," my daughter proudly told someone when they noticed her handknit socks. She's 8.5 now and loves to show people things that I made. I'm happy that she enjoys the things I make and that we will have this common interest as she grows up.
I do fear, however, that I have created a monster. She now continually asks for more socks and will wear the ones she already has until I practically peel them off her and promise to have them washed and back to her soon. Not only that, she has gained a fine appreciation for 'the good stuff' very early in life. She told me a few months ago that she wants to save up for her own 'collection' of Three Irish Girls yarn. A girl after my own heart :).
Then yarn began speaking to her. "This one really needs to be something for Grandma, doesn't it?" "That one has to be a hat for the baby." The kicker? She's usually right! I can hand her a pattern and send her off to my stash and the girl will come back with something great!
