Olivia Knits


A couple of months ago, Olivia came to me wanting to learn to knit. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to try to teach her when her hands and fingers are still so small. I also wondered about the balance of her coordiation and patience; would there be enough of both? I decided to give it a try with a lot of warning that it might still be too difficult. It was touch and go for a while, but in the end I was glad I made the attempt. She has put it down for quite a while now probably because I have not been knitting much. When I begin another project, I'm confident she will continue her skills as well.

Pattern Blocks





Solomon is always supplying me the pictures to post on this blog. Most of them are never posted, but here are a few. He has a talent for putting things together in pleasing ways. I will have to update soon on our school work. Most of the things I post are extras the children do on their own; school is more than just book work. I will post soon about our studies with all of the children. Until then...
