Tiny Stitcher

On Monday night we all came together for Knit Night again after a bit of a Summer break. We don't always break for the Summer, but this time we all seemed to be running in different directions with our own families for awhile, so we took a little time off. Being back together was like a happy family reunion! :) As always, we drank tea, consumed sugar {in the form of cupcakes this time}, swapped stories and got on the business end of a whole lot of yarn!
Pictured above are the precious little hands of Ivy, our Tiny Stitcher. She is the 5 year old best friend of my granddaughter Gabby. Ivy's Grandma, Carey and I have been best friends since we were 18 and 21 {me being the older one}. We had our babies {all girls for each of us} at the same time and raised them up together and now our daughters are doing the same thing. Isn't lifelong friendship a beautiful thing?

 Ivy and her Mommy ~ Malory.

This is Ivy's first year of being homeschooled and part of her education is learning to crochet. And believe me, she is doing a mighty fine job. Those tiny hands just move that hook in and out right where it needs to go.

This is Ivy's "Meena" {that's what she calls Carey instead of Grandma} taking a peek to make sure the stitches are all lining up.

I just love seeing such little hands taking up the craft already. Makes my heart beat with great happiness! :)

 

And one more crafty thing I have to show off ~

Carey has recently learned the lovely art of basket making.

I am so delighted with her skills!

Aren't they beautiful?

And they had that wonderful baskety smell about them too.

 

She has promised to teach me at some point.

Afterall ~ I'm the one who taught her to crochet many years ago {which she is a PRO at!}.

And then I taught her to knit a few years ago too.

So, now it's my turn :)
