It is tradition that I go to my parents for dinner every Sunday. Well last Sunday, the 20th, my grandma happened to be in town for a doctor's appointment later that week. When we walked in she was sitting on the couch knitting a sweater for someone and Matthew (being Matthew) wanted to watch and learn how to do what she was doing. So she sent him upstairs to ask my mom for an extra set of knitting needles for Matthew to practice with. He returned with a set of connected needles, I guess for beginners? Anyway, she was so patient with him as she tried to explain to him how to wrap the yarn around, and when to put the needle through the other yarn hole. She is the one that taught me when I was younger so I thought it was so sweet that she would try and teach Matty how to knit.
He decided he wanted to make a scarf for our cat :) But after a few times of back and forth on the rows, he decided it would take too long and he gave up. Today my mom tried teaching him again and he went a couple of rows and called it quits. It is so funnyto me because if I could ever find my knitting needles I would find the very first thing I tried to make after my grandma taught me....a scarf!

That is so cool! He is so funny! What a nice Great Grandma:-) It was nice talking to you on the phone the other night! Hang in there girl!
Isn't it funny how people get in touch again. Your family is growing up so fast. I am so glad you left a comment on my blog. That is the first and last time I will dress exactly to match the kids.
