Homeschooling
Project Knit 2015
Sometime back in September 2014, Esther, then 11 years old, asked to learn how to knit. Since I have no idea how to do so, I asked her to go check out YouTube tutorials and within a few weeks, she had mastered it and was even teaching her siblings how to do it! Then she went […] Read more…
