GETTING MY SON TO LOVE YARN!

Quirkiness at its best...

Lately I've been feeling quite swamped with projects.  There is always so much to do and so little time.  With the weather improving, my son and I have been getting outside a lot more which is nice after the long winter we've had but that means less time for knitting.

My rainbow blanket design has been underway for close to a month now and it's turning out a lot better than I expected and even my son is starting to love it.  (If you've read some of my previous posts you'd know that my four year old has developed an affinity for rainbows over the past year.) For a little gentleman who has sworn off all yarn for the rest of his life, he is getting quite attached to the idea of having a new blanket for his bed. 

I don't blame him for disliking yarn as he was, and still is, the cutest model and best salesman in town when it comes to my baby toque designs but if I were him I'd be sick of trying on hats too! 

In order to get him to love knitted items again I've had to be a little bit creative... the rainbow blanket was a good start but I'm also designing an even bigger project that will accompany my blanket... a rainbow pouf!  A child friendly, overly large, round pillow cover for my 32" pillow that I ordered off of Amazon. It will look perfect in the corner of my son's bedroom!  If this doesn't get him to start liking yarn again I don't know what will.

WISH ME LUCK!
