Finger knitting

What's a crafty mama to do when she finds her child home from school with no activities planned (Like I did during last week's snow day)?! Teach your kid to finger knit, of course!

We found this great tutorial over at Lines Across and it had Abner busy for at least an hour. I'd never done finger knitting myself, but the tutorial was really easy to follow. Nothing like learning a new skills about 30 seconds before teaching it to your kid.

Of course, she also played in the snow plenty. Our backyard had its own little snowman family by the end of the day. Such fun but I'm sure glad the snow didn't stick around!
