TO BE CAUGHT UP WITHIN HIS WORLD

Max's scarf - a lightweight, fine stitched Bainbridge Scarf, from Crazy4dying sock wool, fixed with a large round horn button, that Max chose himself. And he looks so gorgeous in it. Max is such a wonderful child at the moment, I wish I had much more time just with him. He is funny, and bright, attentive, respectfull of, and to, everyone, and sees amazing things when we go for walks. He has a brilliant imagination and desire to build the things he sees and dreams about. He's settled down so well now at school, and has a thirst for learning new things. Counting is his absolute favourite right now, but writing comes a close second. Tomorrow it might be a different order. It doesn't matter - his imagination and enthusiasm has been caught.

And I in turn, want to be caught up within his world.

What a lovely photo and a handsome boy! I think your and my Max are about the same age? Mine's 6 now. I'm having so much fun with this age, the curiosity and the ability to act like decent humans are both wonderful!

I like how you modified the pattern to use a button instead of tying. The button he chose is perfect, nice and big and buttony. I love it!

Thanks for introducing me to this pattern, it's such a great idea for keeping scarves closed!

Another button that adds the final touch. What a handsome boy and what a lovely scarf!

So fantastic. I *love* that photo. And while I don't wish away my son's tinyness, I look forward to that stage.

Oh Max does look so grown up in that beautiful photo of him. The scarf looks great too, and I love the idea of that button. At least he wont lose it. Isnt it great when they start school how much they learn and want to tell you too, which I think helps them to realise what they have learnt. My daughter is in Grade 1 now and she seems so grown up and much more independant. She loves school, and sport and art are her 2 fave things.

Scarf turned out wonderful - and he looks like he loves it!

I love hearing Moms talk about getting to know their little ones, and really ENJOY them! It melts my heart!

such a handsome boy and scarf! I'm glad to see he's getting some of the handmade goods finally too:)

I knit that scarf not long ago. It's fabbie. I love what you did with it. I'd love to knit another with and do a button instead of the ties.

Nice job!

nice post!

my boy started prep this year. And now he is learning and asking so many wonderful things about numbers and letters. I can get him to right words by spelling them out loud. Except there is a catch. the words have to have the same letters as his class mates name.
H (holly) O (oscar) R (Rachel) S (Sophie) E (Ella). He sneaks a look at my keyboard on my computer for the other letters!

special, special age. I wish I could bottle the moments like these.

great pic.
