Words every mother loves to hear

My son and I were knitting together last night and it was getting late so I said to him "time to get ready for bed" and he said "just one more row"

My heart was so full of love and pride I almost cried.

My baby is a knitter!!!!!

How proud you must be

*sniff* He's so grown up now.

Although, now he can use it for an excuse for other things...

Please take out the garbage...just one more row.

Please make your bed...just one more row.

Please put away your laundry...just one more row. Which will REALLY become a problem if he ever makes a horizontal scarf with 300 bazillion stitches.

Mother-approved procrastination! What more could a kid want?

That's so great that y'all can share that! I love to see guys getting into crafts also. Last week I ran into a male coworker I don't often see, and he had a girl's poncho on four DPNs, and it looked good! I complimented him on it, and he said it's for his 10-year-old daughter.

That is so cute!!!

Good on you for teaching him. I've been contemplating teaching my 5 year old but I'm not sure he'd catch on just yet. So I've been focussing on teaching DH instead. LOL

Well done! It's so cool you have something you can do together.
