Edit: – If you have found me via Pinterest, welcome! It seems that this little rhyme is very popular. Please stay and have a look around. I live on a farm in rural Australia and share thoughts on simple living, growing and preparing our own food, as well as simple crafts. You can find out more about me here. – Jo.
Hannah loves to create. From our perspective it is often a mess, but she is always making something or doing some craft. Our house is often always covered in her creations, and we frequently have to do a cull when she is in bed (no darling I haven’t seen your butterfly mural since I put it in the bin last night).
My parents came for a visit on the weekend, and my mother took the opportunity to teach Hannah how to knit. She is making a blanket for her dolls bed. She picked it up very quickly. My mother taught Hannah a little rhyme to help her remember the steps:
In through the front door,
Run around the back
Know any other good knitting rhymes?
Ohhh Maxine – I like that one too!,
Or another version…under the fence, catch the sheep, back we come and off we leap!
My Mum taught me the same poem Jo. What a lovely memory!
