Last week a certain 6 year old said ” mommy make me a rainbow skirt”. I am a sucker for rainbows, knitting and requests made by the 6 year old.

So we went to the yarn store. And we picked out six colors that made a rainbow. And I started to knit.

Every time she saw me knitting she would ask if it were done yet.

She loves it. She even wore it to school yesterday because they had a dress down day ( she wears a uniform to school) and told all her friends that mommy made a skirt. Now you know why I rarely say no to her requests. Except the one for the mermaid tail because I really don't want to make a huge mermaid tail.

With the rest of the yarn I made a little crotchet top for another little girl.

I am sometimes amazed at how things have changed. I didn't use a pattern for either of them. I just did some math, measuring and gauge swatches. I am pretty sure the top is a little on the large size. But always make it bigger when making it for a kid is my motto.

Now I am obsessed with finding the perfect rainbow sock yarn.
