At school recently, Grace learned how to finger-knit using four fingers. This is an improvement over the simple style she learned last year (see below). One afternoon last month, she made herself a scarf and wore it proudly (after she insisted we stop on the way home for more yarn). Now she comes home from school nearly every day with a partially completed knitting project. Today it was a scarf for her polar bear. Her teacher has wisely figured out that this is precisely the kind of activity that will actually enable the sweet child to sit still. I'm all for it, but I have no idea what I'm going to do with all of these bits and pieces of finger-knitting…
