The kids and I read about groups of people who knitted throughout WWI to support the troops. So, I decided to make this an educational experience and ordered some knitting needles, some yarn, and a book (I don't recommend the book, just YouTube it, it's free-er).
After figuring out how to cast on and knit a few rows, I lost the oldest. The others didn't even bother. But, I found a new hobby :) I have made several hats, a few dishcloths and countless scraps to try out different needle holds, different methods, and different shapes. And then I decided to dive into a sweater. It was a free pattern and I had the right size needles and the right weight yarn (who knew there were a billion different needle and yarn sizes?). Since Baby Bird is tiny, and has no clothing opinions yet, she is my guinea pig, lol
There are quite a few mistakes, which I will not point out, and if you notice them... shhh!
