Theresa, a blog reader, wrote asking for the poem I use for teaching kids to knit. I basically adapted a poem used often around the US. Of course, there are many versions of this and I changed it a little myself.

UP through the front door,
Dance AROUND the back,
DOWN through the window,
and OFF jumps Jack!

This describes the English/American way of knitting well enough to keep them on track. It works very well.

I am still working on my sock for publication, deadline April 1. On top of that, I have the Foster open house tonight. Busy, busy!!!
