So awhile back I was trying to figure out what to do when Bub expressed an interest in knitting. And so, before he left for Florida for a month, I bought him a potholder kit thingie. You know, where you have those loops of fabric that seem like pantyhose but in bright, non-nylon colors and you weave them together to form a potholder? And he loved it. And he did one immediately, but after binding off, decided he didn't like it and took it apart. And then Bub started another one, with a more interesting pattern, but he didn't quite finish it before he left for Florida (this was in the middle of June). Well, since he's gotten back, he finished the weaving and most of the binding off, except for the last side (which, according to Dad, is very difficult). So tonight, Dad helped to do the bind-off, and now it's (finally!) complete. And I am very, very happy to finally be able to put away that loom and crochet hook, until he wants to do another one (which I think really helped his motor skills).
I'm impressed by his pattern -- it's very complex and consistent!
