Mrs MacKenzie Knits! Scarves.

There was a time in my life when news of girls I knew who got together to "craft" would have me rolling my eyes. Like a few months ago. Not so anymore. People, its official. I now knit. 

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I'm too cool to knit, right? Well thats what I thought too, but I was wrong. I had to learn to knit to adapt to the times. You see, the rules for being a respectable mom have changed. It used to be that, to be respectable, you just had to know how to use a crock pot and follow basic box cake mixes. Those days are over. Now, if you want any of your fellow moms to respect you, you have to know how to make stuff. And when I say stuff, I mean articles of clothing that your children will model each time you go out in public. If you don't know how to crochet, sew, knit, hand-make your son's ties or your daughter's headbands, etc. then other moms look at you like you're boring when they are all taking turns showing off their handmade accessories in the nursing room. Hence the knitting. 

I have to say, I never imagined I would have the patience for knitting. I hardly have patience enough to watch my own daughter walk down the stairs. Knitting, however, is actually kind of relaxing. If you're thinking about learning, I highly recommend doing so. I took a class at Michaels, but am probably going to take some more to expand my horizons. If anyone is interested in taking one with me, please email me! Would love a partner. 

Here are some pictures of Heidi wearing her first ever hand knit scarf from mummy.
