Knitting Fun
Monkey boy knitting his scarf
It’s the school holidays and time for the kids to learn some new skills. This holidays we decided to learn knitting so the kids could their own scarf to use during their winter vacations. This year we will be going skiing if we manage to catch the snow during our trip overseas so having handmade scarves would certainly come in handy.
Bi Color Scarf
This was the first scarf that Doggie boy and I knitted together. We didn’t do a good job at estimating the number of balls of thread we needed to complete the scarf so as a result we used two balls of different colors instead.
Doggie boy’s scarf
This is the 2nd piece which I did. A red scarf for Doggie boy. It gets easier to knit with practice.
The scarf I knitted for Tiger girl
Since the boys already had their scarfs done I did one up for the girl too.
Do you enjoy knitting?

That’s so cool that you taught the kids to knit! I am not crafty at all but would love to learn to knit!

Great kid and a nice know how. I do not know how to knit..i think this a good past time…creative too!

I want to learn how to knit too. We are currently into crocheting and I find knitting more complicated since you need to hold two needles. But nevertheless, I still want to learn it if I will have more spare time.

I’m very impressed. I wish I could knit!

It’s never too late to learn. In fact this is the first time I am knitting 🙂

Hi! i found your website through Ms Mystery Case. It’s really cool that you taught your kids to knit! I’d love to have a go at teaching my three but I’m left handed and fear I might confuse them for life!

I think it shouldn’t be an issue as I am left handed also. It was also my first time learning to knit together with the boys. MIL was our teacher 🙂

Very talented. I can’t even knit, so he puts me to shame.

Really impressive knitting. They are doing better than I can do.

Knitting is a great bonding activity to do with your kids! I never learned how but my mother-in-law tried to teach my daughter. Unfortunately, we still have all of the knitting supplies hiding deep within a closet. I hope you and your family enjoy a great vacation!

A friend of mine is into knitting. It’s one thing I can’t learn ;o)

This is awesome!
My mother knows how to knit and crochet and makes blankets and hats, etc. She teaches my daughter, sometimes, and she really seems to enjoy it! I love the idea of teaching something so calming and useful! Great article, adorable pics as always 🙂

Your kids did an awesome job. I love crocheting but I haven’t tried knitting. It is a good skill to have and it is very relaxing too me.

Wow! I think it’s great that your boys know how and enjoy knitting. Go mom!

If I could knit I’d knit presents for everyone! lol! This is so great! Love the half and half one. Your son’s a cutie!
November 27, 2013 @ 3:04 am
How awesome, they have some serious skill! Maybe you all can teach me too!
November 27, 2013 @ 4:44 am
This is just right for the cold season. Tiger girl would look so cute in that pink scarf you made!

I can crochet but I can’t knit. I would not mind learning how to knit. I like the colours you used. They are beautiful and it is wonderful that your children are learning to knit. Thanks for hosting.

Too bad, I don’t know how to knit. Anyway, that’s cool and a fun activity with you and your kids.

Knitting was one of the Home Ec projects that I really enjoyed doing back in high school. 🙂
November 27, 2013 @ 9:49 am
Oooh, that’s so cool! I need to learn knitting myself so I can teach Yuri, too, in the future!
November 27, 2013 @ 11:54 am
I used to knit when I was a kid (aside from crochet). I think I will teach my children too. It would be good for their hand coordination development
November 27, 2013 @ 5:00 pm
That’s cool! I’m learning to crochet.. maybe next time I’ll learn knitting as well.. 🙂
November 27, 2013 @ 5:08 pm
cute! glad to see them cooperating with this project and found it interesting too 🙂
November 27, 2013 @ 6:14 pm
I’m impressed! My first scarf that I knitted when I was 12 looked terrible. 🙂
November 28, 2013 @ 8:23 am
What I know for now is crocheting. I want to learn knitting too. Maybe, one day I’ll ask my gradma to teach me the basics in knitting. Nice scarf by the way.

The 2 tone scarf is so classy! I remember teaching my kids to knit. My favorite scarf was made by my daughter when she was 8 years old (she’s now 16).
