Playing with Yarn

Cayman has been doing several of the fun activities that people suggested in the comment section of my Boring Blog post. I was gratified to hear from so many that my blog is not boring. That made me smile!! Thanks.

Activity: Playing with Yarn

Every time I am delved deep into the middle of one of my knitting or crochet creations, little Cayman, giggly with delight, reaches out and tries to steal my yarn from me. A couple of times I've even allowed it, only to find myself later working on untieing an enormous knot that those little fingers managed to tangle the skein in.

So I've been meaning to dig out an old, left over skein for her to happily play with (supervised of course, so she doesn't get it tangled around herself dangerously). And I would feel worry free about her knotting it all up since I would not be dependent on untangling it in order to finish my current project.

So when Katie suggested in the comment section of my Boring Blog post, for Cayman to play in a "sea of yarn", I was delighted to be reminded of doing this for her.

And wouldn't ya know it, just like a kid, I give her a skein to play with and she wants nothing to do with it.

At first she did approach it with a big grin on her face.

But there was absolutely very little interest after that.

So we put it away and I saved it for another day.

On day two, she still wasn't excited about it. I was even tempted to get out a crochet hook and start making something just to entice her interest because that seemed to be the only time when she was entertained by the yarn.

But instead I decided to take the skein and roll it into a ball.

Cayman watched, wide eyed and quiet.

And when I was finished, she tossed that ball of yarn around as happy as a playful kitty cat would have been.

Tired of looking at pictures yet??
Hopefully not.
We're just gettin' started.

There's still more. Keep lookin'.
Can you tell we were having fun?

Just a few more.

Ok, that's all!
