Doesn't this picture make every knitting mom happy?
Maeve has been choosing a 10 minute knitting lesson out of her mystery
motivation bag fairly regularly. She was able to pick two envelopes a
day, one for doing her chores and one for practicing her violin without
whining, until we had to turn in her rented violin this week. She
actually told me yesterday she wished she had her violin back. I thought
finally she was going to admit that she really liked playing it but no,
it was because she like picking two envelopes a day. Oh well. One can dream.
She
has been working on this little bit of knitting for awhile. She enjoys
it for small amounts of time so the 10 minute lesson is just about
perfect. We recently figured out what she can make with it so that has increased
her motivation to finish it. Maeve's been playing with her doll house a
lot and this little afghan will be a welcome addition to the home.
