L and I learned how to finger knit today. We watched this video on Youtube together and then she tried it out herself with this wool I'd been saving for ages for just this occasion.
L caught on pretty quickly and I just had to keep reminding her to start pulling off at her pinky each time.
I sat with her and helped along the whole way and she ended up making this bracelet. She was so proud and decided she wanted to make something else. I told her to go and ask Granny if she had any extra wool. Well L hit the jackpot there. She came up with a HUGE bag of wool scraps!
L ended up choosing this cheerful yellow to make a headband with. Once again I helped and encouraged her.
I'm so happy that L is now able to finger knit and that she enjoys it as much as I'd hoped she would. I think it will take a few more sessions before she is ready to do the whole thing on her own but she is well on her way!
