The other night I was knitting in bed with my 9 year old daughter sitting beside me. She asked me if I would teach her how to knit. I told her to get some yarn and needles and I proceeded to cast-on a few stitches and showed her the knit stitch about 5 times in a row and then handed it to her. The kid just picked right up where I left off, slowly but surely! Now somehow she's inadvertently added a few increases since it's now wider than when she started, but I'm very proud of her.

The funny part is later on when I went to go to bed I walked by her bedroom to find her light still on and her still knitting. She said "I know I should go to sleep but I keep telling myself just one more row". I nearly fell off her bed laughing and told her she sounded just like a knitter!

I love having a new knitting partner!
