Cana, The Knitter of All Knitters

Miss Cana, our 15 year old daughter, is the queen of all knitters and crocheters, too, by the way---we spent time today at Michael's, she looking for a specific kind of afghan pattern, me looking for crochet hats patterns. I want to take small projects with me on vacation next week, and not lug the afghans I'm making right now. Tomorrow we are looking forward to going to the Studio, a knit shop on the Plaza.

Among many others projects, Cana is working on a knitted human body, organs included (they can be pulled out through the knitted person's mouth) as a project for her independent fiber arts class at her school.

Cana is such a whiz at this...she wants to go to the Art Institute...I hope she will be able to. Both these kiddos, she and her brother, Caleb are creative "out the bazooka"...and we are proud...messy, they both are, but creative...and most of the time, compassionate, at least to everybody but each other...

Our children...yes, I'm proud that they are not boring...not that any parent thinks of his or her children as boring...but NO parent could think of MYchildren as boring...oh, for Pete's sake, I'll shut up now!!!
