Emma's so cool, she can knit in da pool!




Emma has caught the knitting bug.  The other day, she came across a knitting kit in her dresser drawer.  She has done some knitting before now, but has always put aside her projects after a few dropped stitches or other mistakes.  However, today she completed a small project for her sister Brianna.  A sunglasses case.  I was so proud of her!  She spent several hours this morning, working on her project.  I had promised her that if she ran out of purple wool, I would buy her some more.  After a morning of knitting, she felt the itch to cool off in the pool.  However, Emmawas loathe to put down her knitting so she brought her project with her into the water.  I happened to glance outside and beheld some odd stringlike fibers floating in the pool. Apparently, Emma is even able to knit underwater!  This called for some photos, as I know that several years from now, my memory will have failed me and I'm sure that this is one story I'll have trouble believing without photographic proof.  Suffice it to say, Emma finished her sunglasses case for Breezy.  Her brief attempt to extract $2 for the case from Breezy (which her little sister, ever the dupe, would have happily given her) was quickly shot down by yours truly. If Ms. Emma thinks I'll buy her wool, while she in turn charges $ for her completed projects, she has another think coming!
