First Finger Knit

Such a proud moment for a mom that loves all things yarn! My little guy created his first chain just before turing 5. I didn't know if it was the right time, but he has been asking and asking lately so I gave it a go. A few days before I took him to the yarn shop to choose his yarn. I have to laugh because I was thinking of all these really great pastel and rainbow ones we could get but he obviously had other ideas and went with his favorite color red. We used a knitting story about a Shepard and his sheep to help him remember what to do. What a success! His chain will keep growing daily and has plans to make it a leash for his stuffed cat.
