Knitting

02 October 2013


It's funny how some weeks I knit lots and others practically nothing, that has been the case for me these past two weeks.  The 'lots' of knitting was in part due to two long car journeys to visit my parents, I mananged to knit up a pair of slippers one in each direction!  These were knit for my nephew for Christmas, I am now wondering whether they will fit him by then, his feet have grown a whole size since I last saw him, if he carries on growing they will be too small.  I may give these to my eldest and knit my nephew another bigger pair, oh these children who grow.  I have knit nothing much since until yesterday when I cast on another pair and have knit most of the sole.  I have also been knitting a wristwarmer and a few rows of a sleeve on a jumper for my youngest, in between times.

I have not been reading much lately either, writing this I am wondering what I have been doing!  I have been dipping in and out of Free to Learn an introduction to Steiner education.  I have read about several different types of education recently including Charlotte Mason and Montessori, we don't really have a particular style or method to our home education and it is always interesting to read about the different methods and how they work in practice.  I pick and choose the bits that I like the sound of and that might work for us!
