My daughter always watch me when I am doing knitting and crochet. Sometimes she asked me to teach her how to knit, but I thought it was too early for 6 years old girl to learn knitting.
I taught her yubiyami (finger knitting) that I learned from youtube, and she could master it quickly. But she didn't want to stop there, she wanted more..
One day, when I was watching a video about knitting on youtube, I watched on that video a 6 year old girl knitting something. I realised I was wrong for not allowing my girl to learn to knit.
I went to a yarn shop to buy some yarns, I also bought a set of bamboo knitting needle for my girl. Then I taught her the basic of knitting, how to make cast on, knit and purl. I didn't think she can master it quickly. Only in one day, she can knit a small handkerchief.
The result was not too perfect, but with little practice, I know she will master it well in a short time.
