View Full Version : Knitting for opinionated toddlers
07-03-2007, 11:17 AM I need some help with this... when I
started knitting I gravitated towards doing things for my girls,
for many reasons. I recently finished a Monica for my older
daughter - it's her style, she knew I was knitting it for her,
she was excited about it. I finished it, tried it on her to take
a few pics, and she promptly asked to remove it. She hasn't
cared about it since.  I put it on my younger daughter today to
size it and see if she'd like it any better. She at least
wandered around in it for a while before removing it for no
particular reason.  I know they're little kids, I know they
don't understand how much effort it takes, etc. etc. But how do
you explain it to yourself and keep on knitting for them? I have
the yarn for another Monica and another dress, plus several
sweaters, all for the girls. I am loath to CO for any of them. I
love to knit them, but I might as well knit the stuff up and
bury it in a hole in the backyard. :rolls
