She figured out how to hold the yarn with the index finger pointing up and to pinch her ever-growing chain with her thumb and middle finger! And then, and finally, she could "sneak a hug from behind" to hook the yarn, "tuck it in" to turn the hook slightly downward for easy insert through the loop, and then to say "good-night" as she made a chain!!!!!
She has been picking each loop off of the yarn sort of rainbow-loom style and two-handed. Very slow and clumsy.
She is on her way to chaining away! Now, what to do with all the long chains to come, before introducing single crochet?
Definitely a joyful way to continue rocking my baby!
You may wonder where is the new to me Monday item in all of this? Well, it is Norah's dress, found at a local church's spring resale. It has summer straps, so will be cool and comfy when the mercury rises. But for now, Grandma's sewn white short-sleeve jacket looks perfect.
