It's that time again. The cool weather seems to bring out the crafty side of us. We add in more art and more handiwork in late fall and winter than the rest of the year. Last winter, Meghan practiced her knitting skills which Mama had taught her while she was still with us. I have photos to remember this--a great blessing. This year, Meghan shared her love for knitting with her sister, Molly, who is thrilled to find she picked up the skill quite easily. Emily, of course, would like to be a part of the big girls' knitting club and so I began a tiny square for her, explaining that knitting isn't always simple for little fingers. Not several minutes later, she held it out from her body, remarking that she was done with all this. Perhaps next year.
Our goal last year was to knit enough squares to make a blanket for a homeless person, through the organization, "Blankets for Canada". Since we needed a little more practice, we're hoping to try again. Please check out their website and be inspired and if you're from the U.S., maybe there's something you can do in your area as well!

What a great idea to turn your crafts into something practical to help others...well done! Your girls are doing a great job!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Yes, Emily! Great job! Perhaps you all can do a tutorial for other children (ahem, like mine) who would like to learn to knit!
Meghan, you are a wonderful big sis ;O).
