This means that both Perl Grey’s MinO and Ona kits are bursting with even more delights. Click on each photo to see them.

Children Knitting in a Waldorf Classroom
Yesterday, my brother sent me a link to his local paper in Southern California wherein I discovered a lovely article that I thought you’d like to read, too. It talks about the role of knitting and crochet in Waldorf schools, and goes on to describe why our favorite activity is so important to the development of cognitive capacities and focussed attention: The skill of the hands becomes the skill of the mind. Of course, we know that knitting is it’s own reward, but what it does for children is a gem of priceless worth. Read the full article here.
The photo above is from the cover of A First Book of Knitting for Children. It is filled with joyful projects and happy ways to share our craft with youngsters – we offer it at our sister site, www.knittersbookshelf.com, here.
Because Lanica is so very perfect for babies and children, Perl Grey was inspired to create an sweater for young children that is as innovative as it is practical. Not to mention totally charming. See our newest kit here.
