Knit Mania

My handsome son finished his first scarf a few days ago. Here he is finishing up the last few rows:


We got a kid's kit from Ben Franklin. I looked for the only skein of yarn that didn't have pink in it and we were off. Only 8 months later - we have a scarf! My son is very happy to report that his scarf is a full 5 feet long - longer than he is tall!

The needles for this kit were #19s. I now see that these are REALLY big for little hands. We'lltry our next project with smaller needles. We even wnet shopping/had a field trip to Holly Spring Home Spun to learn about how yarn is made. A great session and my handsome amn picked out some great yarn for a new scarf. Had my camera - but forogt to take pictures. Can you tell I'm a new blogger?
