One of our grand-daughters is five years old. She is desperate to learn to knit – and has caught on really quickly. However, she has been watching me crochet, and although she hasn’t yet asked how to do it she has loved watching the change of colours.

She often helps me choose threads to put together into my hand dyed selections (similar to these on Etsy) and has begun to examine in detail my collection of yarn which I use for crochet. Last week she asked if I would make her a scarf. Today she presented me with two pieces of paper

This is the first

These are the colours she would like in her scarf!

The second list?

Not only does she want one for herself – but also one for Mummy. These lists were unsolicited and written without help.

I’d better get started 😉
