Daughters to Work
In honor of Take our Daughter to Work Day, 451 Press has asked bloggers to invite special writers to their blog. So, with no further ado, I introduce you to Miss Mairiah, my oldest granddaughter:
My gramma is an expert knitter, so about two weeks ago she took me and my best friend and taught us how to knit. I’m working on a scarf. Well, actually it’s a practice scarf. When Gramma says I am ready, I can start on the actual scarf. But on the practice one, I have only restarted 4 times and as of today I have about six inches. As for my friend, she is not doing so well. She has restarted 18 times. She started to give up, but amazingly my gramma got her back into it. Well - at least we know she’s getting better at casting on! But after that, she gets lost.
My gramma just bought both of us some funky yarn, and when we are ready, that’s what the scarves will be made of. My friend’s has every color under the rainbow, and mine has mostly blue and purple with some other colors. The yarn I am working with right now got boring, so she bought us cool yarn. She also let us borrow her knitting needles, so that’s what I am working with right now.

I’m not a huge knitter, Mairiah, but it looks like you’re doing great! I do like to crochet, though, and that funky yarn is fun to use! I’d love to see a picture when you’re done!

[…] 451 Press asked its writers to have their posts written today by a son or daughter, or an adopted son or daughter. So, Knitting Passion has a guest writer today - my granddaughter. Wander over and see what she has to say - and see her shining face, too. Thanks, Miss M. for sharing with us! […]

Hi Mairiah! It looks like your gramma has you off to a great start. I just started knitting recently as well. So far I’ve only finished a baby blanket and two hats. It is a lot of fun, isn’t it?

Mairiah,
That’s so cool! I can’t knit at all (even though some day, I promise I am going to learn). I hope you’ll stop back and show us when your scarf is finished!
