I love old photos but is that child actually knitting at her age? I feel so inadequate 😔
Best I could ever do was crochet a rope.
Can’t imagine a child this age could knit!?🤨 I couldn’t even do it as an adult! I only crochet. I’m in awe if she did!
I think outside of North America, in times past, all little girls learned to knit, whether they wanted to or not. I’ve read about a knitwear designer in maybe Sweden who had to knit 2 inches every day before she could go outside for play.
The doll on the right seems to be wearing the same outfit as the little girl.
I love this photo too! and I would not be surprised if the child was knitting. My mom had me doing needle point at 4, (with a big needle and special cloth – but still) and I learned to crochet at 6 or 7. The Latvian mittens (I’m still knitting!)? The author describes girls starting their trousseaus at five – knitting mittens. Apparently the tradition was to have a pair of mittens for every member of the future groom’s family and more besides, when they got married, at 16.
Montreal kitties are adorbs!

I want to snorgle the tummy😆
Looks to me like one kitten is zonked, and the other interrupted in the middle of savaging the former’s tail.
I had the same reaction to that photo. Those two are beyond adorable.
Love the bouncy dog so much!
He just used up his last ounce of oomph.
Whoa, I’ve just noticed that my old purple tomato icon has been replaced with a green crab-thing wearing red gloves!
My bread slice with grape jelly and an elephant trunk disappeared a while ago.
Anyone else having trouble viewing the instagram videos?
The girl petting the cat is Chrissie Cheyne from Shetland.
There is another picture of her where her knitting belt is visible. That picture was on Cute Overload (or should I say Cute Overlord) a very long time ago.
I remember a commenter lamenting that she had not seen this picture before, as she had published an article about knitting in Shetland not long before.

Arne, that commenter may have been me! I didn’t write the article, but I published a few when I worked as a knitting magazine editor.
That was a very, very long time ago. You must be almost as old as I am!
“I’ve read about a knitwear designer in maybe Sweden who had to knit 2 inches every day before she could go outside for play.”
I’m from Sweden, and as a boy I was forced to do more manly work.
That is so sweet! You look so focused!
Also props for the all-wood vise.
And I’m probably much older than you.
You were an adorable kid!
Oh, thank you!
Actually, I’m still adorable, but posting the selfie I took on my 70th birthday 2024 would be cuteness overload.
I’m also well known for my shyness and humility.
😂😂👍🏼
that kit’s mom is a total fox.
seriously, gorgeous creature.
Tee-hee!
