Oh my, that's pink

My little cousin keeps bugging me to teach her to knit. We've only sat and tried this twice now. But I do know, that a 4 year old must be quite talented to learn to knit at 4.

A 5 year old, as well, is slightly too young. Perhaps 7 is the best age? I'm not sure, but I think this little one will have quite a penchant for purchasing art supplies - one after my own heart.

So me, very craftily having already bought the wool, say to the little one "How about something pink for Christmas?"

"Oh, yes. Or purple. I like purple."

"How about pink stripes" Me, super crafty right? I have light pink and bright pink, already to go. Plotting and planning in my head.

Cousin: "Yes, purple and pink stripes"What?!

The problem with this kid is that her memory is pretty good. The only time she doesn't seem to remember things is when she doesn't want to. Or if you try to talk to her while there is ANYTHING else going on. But there was nothing.

I hope she likes it. Or forgets what she actually asked for. Perhaps I'm not so crafty.... but she is getting a bloody purple dragon, surely that will cover the whole "Purple" issue?

I hope so!
