Life In The Creek

• Jan. 9, 2009 - January 2009

Well, we are plugging away with our homeschooling trying to get our book work completed so we can have more time to do unit studies and field trips. Madison is just loving learning and doing hands on learning.

Be back soon to update more.

• Jan. 12, 2009 - A knitting question from ages ago

Posted by Crescentmoon

You had left a question for me on my blog ages ago, but I only just now found it as I was looking at old posts. Sorry.
It was about what type of yarn I recommend for teaching children to knit. What we are using now is 4-ply cotton yarn and that's working very well. When I taught my oldest daughter, we used wool, which worked equally well, so I don't think the type of yarn matters all that much, but I do think needle size matters. I usually start with a size 9 or 10, because they are easier for small hands to hold and the project goes faster since the loops are bigger.
Again, sorry for not noticing the question sooner.
