A New Talent

This post is showcasing a new talent - my niece with her knitting. My mum and I have been teaching her for some time - she did make purse with some help but the picture above is almost all her own work.
What a difference a year makes and doing knit rather than knit and purl, has meant that she can do this with almost no supervision . She is getting much quicker too and the last time I saw her she doubled the size of the project in an afternoon - such a lovely peaceful time with both of us doing our knitting.
I say double the size - it is perhaps a little more as we do seem to have gained some stitches along the way when the bag is supposed to be straight! But at least when we get to the lesson on increasing that should be a doddle! :-)
