The NEXT Next Generation Crocher

Wow, I'm so proud!! Meet the NEXT Next Generation Crocheter, my daughter Sydney. She learned to make a chain last summer when she was 5, couldn't get the hang of the first row of SC. She showed an interest again last week so we found her hook (AMAZING!!), I let her pick out some yarn from the scrap stash and she was off making necklaces and bracelets out of chains in no time . She found a basket to keep all her stuff in - hook, yarn and a pair of scissors. Yesterday she wanted to learn the next step. So we got it all out and she actually did pretty well with the first SC row this time, finding the "bumps" on the back of the chain was much easier than the two loops...whatever works best. On to the regular row of SC...she struggled a bit finding the two loops but she is a very determined child. We put it away before she got too upset and we'll try again tonight. She loves when I bring home new yarn and let her go to the craft store with me....this apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!
