Crafty Adventures Painting rocks at Mom and Dad’s  Kids made flowers. Dan made a turtle. I made a butterfly.  Knitting in Passing I did a video chat with my 12 year old niece Riley. Thought she needed help to bind off but really just needed to close up the last stitch. Riley used a video I sent her to cast on a new cowl to teach her friend to knit. Millie (8 years old) can’t find kit from Christmas and wants to knit, so I sent supplies directly to their house and Riley agreed to cast on for her. Here are photos of Riley’s first cowl and headband. KAL News Quarterly Quests!
