Knitting is a legacy that has been passed from mother to daughter for many generations in my family. My grandmother, aunt, great-grandmother, great aunt, great-great-grandmother, .... and so on were all knitters, and now Kaylen knits too!
Kaylen was first handed knitting needles and shown how to make the knit stitch when she was only three years old. Curiosity satisfied for the time being she never continued, but now, barely turned six years old, Kaylen is enthusiastically taking up the hobby. Her first project is a scarf for her constant companion, a stuffy named "Lambie". So far she has knit six full rows of ten stitches.
Yay! The legacy continues!

Wow! What a super job! :)
Marlene, what a wonderful legacy for you and your family to be part of. I admire your knitting and now Kaylen looks like she'll be a pro at it before too long! xoxo
WOW She's doing an amazing job. I'm very impressed.
Yes Ruinwen I'm really proud of her! I see you've added "Dagorielle" to your username. Is there a story behind that?
I think so bearpicnic. Her mom is already a very good knitter, in far shorter time than it took me to gain similar skills. With the internet it is so easy to research and master advanced techniques that new knitters often pick it up quickly and then surpass their teacher's skill level, unlike in the "olden days" when you only learned what your mentor could pass on.
Thanks Dustbunnie I'm impressed with her skill too.
Well that brings tears to my eyes. What a great start to a knitterly life!
