Nephew and superknitter

I have spent a lovely afternoon and evening with my nephew teaching him to knit.  At first he was all fingers and thumbs but as time progressed he became more adept at holding wool and needles and managed to get the gist of how to do garter stitch. Admittedly, he has managed to get from fifty stitches on the needles to sixty, but hey, it's his first lesson.  I have been knitting for about fifty-eight years so I know how long it takes to become a really experienced knitter.  I am most impressed that he has the tenacious gene.  He will just keep going on and on and eventually he will produce something that looks fantastic.  I am extremely proud of him and it will give me even more pleasure if he comes back to learn other knitting stitches.  Good on him I say!
