A really neat thing happened last night while I was tying up some irresistibles for a swap I'm in. My daughter decided she wanted to watch and I don't mind an audience. After I finished one she inspected it and gave her "that looks pretty cool dad" seal of approval. Some how I knew what was coming next, "can I tie one dad". Now I have only been tying for about 8 months and I'm not much of an instructor, but, I knew spinning dear hair is not what you start a 7 year old off with. I talked her into tying a pom pom bug with rubber legs.
I wish I had a camera handy, the look of concentration on her face was priceless. When she was finished she was so proud of herself she just had to show everyone in the house, even the dogs. I'm not sure what kind of fish is going to bite on a pink and purple pom pom bug but we will find out in the spring. For now I have someone else to tie with.

If I could get the digital camera hooked up to the computer I would post a picture.
