Turns out teaching your kid to knit is not only giving them a great pastime, but also helps create an atmosphere of peaceful creativity in the home. Come see L’s first project!
Layla, your hat is wonderful! I love the colors you used and the pompom on top – every hat should have one. My daughter is 4 1/2 and just learning how to knit by making a scarf with her grandmother. I’ll show her the hat you made. I wish you many happy years of knitting and creating.ReplyCancel
Thank you so much, Anne! She is so proud of her hat, and just loves that pom! She loves this new craft of hers, and I’m sure your daughter will be so thrilled to work and create too! Layla is trying out her own scarf this time around too!ReplyCancel

Great job Layla! It sure is a beauty! I would love to pay you to make me one! Let me know if that interests you!☺️ReplyCancel
This week in our Sewing with Kids series, we are planning out a large project- a new twin size quilt. See how we are tackling the planning and cutting in this post.
Beautiful job, ladies! I can’t believe how mature Layla is becoming is such a short time. I really pleased that things are going so well and that you and Layla have this together time. Jo-AnneReplyCancel
Thank you, Jo-Anne. Its a sweet time for us to spend together for sure. The boys are go, go, go all the time, so its great to slow down and share something special between just the two of us!ReplyCancel

Layla, your pillow turned out amazing! So talented- just like your mom! Lillian and I can’t wait to see you on Facebook today. She loved your pillow and wants to give it a try too!ReplyCancel
Layla was just thrilled to bits to have you in her virtual audience! She said she wants to go back to Selby! Thank you for the encouragement. :)ReplyCancel

I love it! Layla did an amazing job! I would like to make a cross-stich pillow, too! Thanks for the inspiration, Layla!ReplyCancel
Thank you, Ivy! You should definitely make a pillow! Its a relaxing and fun way to make a piece with a lot of character and impact. I asked her to make one for me next!ReplyCancel

Wow, impressive! I love how articulate Layla is about the project too :)ReplyCancel
She is quite the little talker! I expected her to articulate well on paper, but I was genuinely blown away by her video debut on Facebook. I could really get some advice from her on how to stay composed.ReplyCancel
I love this post! That pillow is gorgeous and such an accomplishment for Layla. So far my sons aren’t interested in sewing/stitching so I’m hoping my daughter will be when she gets a little older!ReplyCancel
