baby barefoot sandals- how cute is that?

15 August 2014

What is even cuter than baby feet?

These barefoot sandals are my new obsession!

I love everything about them:

searching for the perfect pattern on the internet/ creating a new pattern/ collecting fine materials/

crocheting using the smallest crochet hook I've ever seen/

admiring tiny sandals/ kissing baby feet/ share them with you!

Single Finger Knitting - A Tutorial

04 August 2014

As a mother with a crafter's soul, I anticipate the moment my daughter will be interested in knitting.

Montessori teached me to follow the child. So I understand that introducing this activity is not about the age of the child, it's all about their interests.

When it comes to young children - preschoolers who want to knit, the first activity we present is single finger knitting, followed by finger knitting or knitting with looms and spools.

So I learned myself single finger knitting and spent some happy hours making bracelets

I also analyzed the procedure into simple steps in order to be able to present it to my child and I made this tutorial.

Why I am so happy to present you this activity:

1. This is engaging to young kids, building their concentration and their self-confidence

2. They actually make something they can wear or keep

3. This is relaxing for grown-ups, too!

Let's begin:
