Crazy
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!
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!
