{sharing a moment from our week via soulemama, 1 picture, no words, lots of love.}

knitting in new light, a stitch in time is ...worth it.

this morning little bits tries on her birthday mittens which i hope will end up looking like dragons...but we shall see.
i am always surprised how interested she is in the details of my art and craft. she learned about 10 new words this morning including: stitches, woven, sharps(knitting needles), thumb gore (why i was using this less than magical word, i don't know!) and pickupthestitch! which is what i exclaimed over and over as i redid the casting on of this mitten while she unravelled it...but oh what fun....worth the extra stitches.
