Heather,
This is one "I need" that I would have no problem with....if this keeps her hands & mind occupied. I love knitting - it's very therapeutic for me. kt is slowly learning to knit & loving it when she can sit still long enough.
I've always said that our difficult children need just one interest, one passion that will keep them on course, if you will.
by the way, if you check online, Lion Yarn brands has all sorts of free patterns & yarn specials on their website.
This cyber auntie is very proud of your difficult child. :angel:
