Often while Ewan is playing, I pull out my needles and yarn to keep my fingers and hands busy while watching my little guy explore his world. (Right now, a pair of baby legwarmers are on the needles)

Most of the time Ewan won’t pay me (or my yarn) any mind. Sometimes he will.

So, I gave him his own ball of yarn. I’m starting him with the good stuff (it’s one of my handspun three-plys).

And he liked it.

Right now, he doesn’t do much with it besides put in his mouth and make some pretty impressive tangles, but maybe someday he will. For now, I’m just happy that I’ve found another way to make it so that I can keep knitting for a few more minutes and Ewan can keep exploring his world in the ways that he knows.
