My daughter, Lilli, is 21 months old. She is not my favorite child right now... The other day I was on the computer and Lilli was watching a video. Or at least I thought she was watching a video. It seems she'd decided to entertain herself with my knitting. I was about 1/3 of the way finished with a hat that I'm knitting for my sister. Lilli got into my knitting bag. She broke a couple of my wooden dpns into small pieces. Then she pulled my ball of yarn apart. Then she pulled the stoppers off the ends of my circular needles and pulled some of the stitches off. I discovered this when she started bringing me the pieces of the dpns. Now, Lilli is an adorable child and I love her with all of my heart. After several hours I forgave her, and reprimanded myself for leaving my knitting within her reach. Upon further inspection the damage wasn't too bad. The dpns were fairly cheap so I'm not the least bit concerned with those. And I was able to save the hat without having to rip it back. So all was not lost, and I learned a valuable lesson: Never leave your knitting within a child's reach.
