If you read my first entry you will notice that I said my almost 9 year old daughter, Molly, is crazy crafty. Well, what I mean is, she sees things in a different way. She creates odd things and has interesting ideas and understands things differently. I have been told that she is dyslexic. Maybe. But certainly her mind works in a different way. This was apparent very early on. We often asked her, “What planet are you from?” when she was little. She really loves clay and sculpture and 3-D work and just recently crocheting.
Last night she told me she was making up her own stitch and when she woke up this morning I found her crocheting in her bed. Soon she came out to show me this:
Now keep in mind not only did she make up a new stitch that I am told goes–Chain 1, wrap around, go in the hole, drop your loop, go through two and go through two. But she can’t read a pattern so she made the bag pattern up as she went along! She just recently learned how to crochet! I am amazed at this girl. She has the gift!
What kind of awesomeness have you bred? She rocks!
Gorgeous!
Wow…I had tried to teach mine (also 9) and after lots of angst she did about 1/16th of scarf…it still unfinished stuffed in a drawer somewhere…she takes after me!LOL (funny thing is that her first mom actually does a great job and made her a backpack and cap not too long ago…the genes must have skipped our daughter though!LOL)
Lovely Molly rocks the house! I can’t believe the fabulousness of that bag. I can’t read patterns either, nor can I make up my own. That Molly is one talented lady, she should offer classes!
wow, impressive!
Awesomeness!
Good Golly Miss Molly! You sure like to crochet! I love this, I love a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it. Mom, you’re pretty cool yourself!
that is amazing!! :^D)
i knit, but every time i try to teach myself how to crochet, i give up in frustration. i wish molly was available for tutoring!
