Ask the Geeks -
Emily asks:
What is a good age to teach a kid to knit? What age did you both start knitting? My daughter is almost 7 and has asked to learn but I don’t want to teach her too young so she gets frustrated by it. She does loom knitting now. Any advice on how to teach her would be appreciated!
