Teaching Kids to Knit
Posted by vicki brown on
It's taken a few attempts but I think I've finally taught Effie (7) to knit and not only that but got her interested and excited about it.
So I wanted to share a little bit about how we got here, as it's not been quite as easy as I had imagined.
Both my kids learned to knit pretty young as they spent so much time watching me knitting away, but there seemed to be a bit of a disconnect between learning the motions and actually persevering with a project.
I think I forgot how long it actually takes to knit a whole finished thing - add to that how much longer it is when you're just learning and add again how time is so much bigger when you're little and you realise it's a lot for a small one and if it seems insurmountable then the chances of giving up are HIGH!
So this is what we did to try and minimise all those hurdles.
š§¶ big yarn! We usually use aran or DK - we have used chunky but I think it can be aĀ bit much for little hands
š§¶ needles that are a good length for their hands - we have couple of sets of kids needles that are a little shorter, but actually have found using circulars are perfect, needles are smaller but the cord means lots of space for the stitches to sit (added bonus that Effie won't have the fear of moving on from straights to ciruclars like I did)
š§¶ quick projects - we've been working our way through Kids Knit by Kerry Kimber, which has really fun simple projects that Effie is actually excited to make, we highly recommend this book.
š§¶ the knitting fairy - this was inspired by The Knitmore Girls - after every row Effie knits, I knit a row. It means the knitting moves along nice and quickly plus, I canĀ check for and fix any issues that may have occurred.
š§¶ cute accessories - Effie has her very own project bag (we're using one from Stitchers Tees), some super sweet knitting needles with acorns on the ends and some fun stitch markers - I mean I love all these extra lovely things so of course she does too!
I'm so pleased to have someone else in my house to knit with (and share my stash with), I hope these tips can help you teach your little ones.
Iām beyond grateful to Dr. Benjamin for changing my life completely! I had been playing the Mega Millions lottery for years without success, until I came across Dr. Benjamin and decided to give his spell casting services a try. After performing a powerful lottery spell for me, everything turned around in the most unbelievable wayāI won the Mega Millions jackpot of $670,000,000,00! The experience still feels like a dream come true. Dr. Benjamin was professional, kind, and deeply spiritual throughout the entire process. He guided me with confidence and positive energy, and his work truly produced results beyond my imagination. I highly recommend Dr. Benjamin to anyone who believes in miracles and is ready for a life-changing breakthrough. reach him via drbenjaminlottospell711@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +18588585788.
HOW I WON THE LOTTERY WITH EASE: I can never stop thanking Lord Bubuza. This man has changed my life with his lottery spell. I love playing lottery games, but I had never won before. After reading testimonies online from people who said they had won big after receiving lottery numbers from Lord Bubuza, I decided to contact him for help through WhatsApp at +1 (365) 808 5313.
He told me what I needed to do so he could cast the spell and give me lottery numbers, and I followed his instructions. After the spell was cast, Lord Bubuza gave me some numbers and told me where and how to play. It was amazing because I played and won $310.500,000 million.
This man is a life changer, and I will always be grateful to him for helping me become wealthy. I can never stop thanking him for changing my life.

Iām wishing good fortune to everyone who comes across this comment! I went bankrupt last year due to failed business ideas. I used to enjoy playing the lottery for fun but as my situation worsened financially I sought help to win big this time and found a man called MEDUZA who has assisted numerous individuals worldwide with their financial issues.
