My niece is staying with me a few days and I'm going to try to teach her to knit. She's 7 and I hope I can do it.

I taught both my grandsons to knit. I imagine a 7-year-old girl will take to it beautifully! I found that teaching English is easiest.

I'm sure you can do it!! have fun with it and let us know how it goes!!

i've been thinking about doing the same thing. she's a lefty, but does everything else with her right hand. whew!

Make it a fun project and she'll probably eat it up.

Maybe a teddy bear?
