He wanted to learn to knit partly because his older brother is knitting blanket squares in school and he never wants his brother to know how to do anything that he doesn't. <br /><br />My girlfriend teaches elementary school art and tells me that for some reason all of the boys really respond to fiber arts. I remember making some sort of knitting loom with nails and scrap wood in sixth grade and many of the boys made them too. They would come into school wearing the scarves they made on it. <br /><br />Now I want to search online for that. It would make a row of knitting in something like 10 seconds.<br /><br />I definitely didn't make the aspic eggs - maybe we'll make some weird food or art project while Tom's out of town next week.P/Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011597977129472269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417973224241757999.post-43057386856337208772009-04-13T13:45:00.000-04:002009-04-13T13:45:00.000-04:00I know how to knit though I can't really see any l...I know how to knit though I can't really see any longer. When my kids were younger, I knitted xmas stockings for them and my husband. I loved knitting these things. Still have them. <BR/>I have always wondered about who (in our history) sat down with two sticks and decided to 'knit' something together.<BR/>I have friends who knit too...always thought of it as an old lady hobby but these folks are youngish and knit at meetings and get together and knit and have knitting clubs etc.<BR/>It's great that your son wants to knit. <BR/>There are some great online links for knitting too (with kids).

Just went to the store and they only had blue peeps - don't know what color icing I'd have to come up with to make them look at all palatable.<BR/><BR/>Spent the afternoon at the antique store looking for knitting needles - 8 year old SON is obsessed with learning to knit. Wound up at Wal-Mart where I found a pair for $3.P/Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011597977129472269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417973224241757999.post-22469845854013161512009-04-10T15:35:00.000-04:002009-04-10T15:35:00.000-04:00I am addicted to foodgawker and they have tons of ...I am addicted to foodgawker and they have tons of Easter ideas for food you can make along with some really disgusting items too. (do not make the "magic Easter eggs" (they look like something someone would have made the year I was born)<BR/><BR/>http://foodgawker.com/?s=easter<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you're back feeling better.<BR/>I wish I had a hot cross bun but it's not possible to eat only one. So none it is.<BR/>Have a great Easter weekend.Levihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369763028982948026noreply@blogger.com
