French Knitting

I love to crochet although I am not great at it. Of course Alivia has started to take an interest in what I am doing and wants to help. She is obviously to young to teach how to crochet but I do remember spending endless hours of my childhood french knitting and making *gasp* scrunchees....and scarves for my dolls. So one Saturday morning I took one cardboard toliet paper roll, 4 popsicle sticks, and one roll of painters tape to fashion a knitting loom. I then found some leftover pink yarn and taught Liv the art of French Knitting. She didn't last long but was super proud of the results. I suggest googling French Knitting if you would like to give this a try.
