Knitted Recorder Bag

With a lot more knitting on my behalf than I planned on, my son and I did manage to finish his recorder bag, made from the wool that we dyed together the other day.

We have a proud boy at the moment and a gorgeous recorder bag, don't your think so?  Not a bad start for a 7 year old.

Met veel meer breien door mij dan gepland, hebben mijn zoon en ik de blokfluithoes afgemaakt.  Hij is gebreid met de wol die we pas geleden samen verfden.

We hebben op dit moment een trotse jongen en een prachtige blokfluithoes, of niet soms?  Geen slecht begin voor een 7-jarige.

    so sweet! That will be one of K's first homeschooling handwork projects. Any advice on making them?

      We just went with a straight piece, sewed it into a tube and pulled a finger-knitted cord through the top.

    That is so cool! My daughter just turned 6, would she be able to knit? I don't even know how, so would have to learn first and it sounds so daunting! I'm also now thinking she maybe needs a recorder!

      My son learned how to knit this year in class 1 at his Waldorf School. He was six, so a perfect age. . . Same with the recorder, they just started it this term after having worked with the pentatonic flute for two terms.

    That is so cool! I think more boys should learn how to knit. If they did the world would be a much more peaceful place. Our son crocheted himself a blanket a while ago. Poor guy, it gets so cold in the house during the winter.

      Thanks Ulla! I just finished reading this article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mara-menachem/knitting-is-more-important-than-homework_b_3612321.html) and it mentions how knitting improves memory and fine motor skills. . . no differences for genders!
