Tiny Dancer

Charlotte had her first dance class tonight, and I'm happy to report that she loved it. (She's almost a month too young for this class. The two year old class was cancelled so she was enrolled with the three year olds. We've kept our fingers crossed that she'd be able to handle it.) Here she is before class in her ballet clothes.

The class also covers tap dancing, and Charlotte loves dancing in her tap shoes.

While she's in class, I get almost a full hour of knitting in the hallway. Tonight, I was able to finish the feet on two socks.

The left one is the second of my sockapal-2-za socks. The right one is what I used to practice the Easy Toe technique on before I started my sockapal-2-za socks. For this sock, I'm striping a skein of Lorna's Laces Mother Lode with a skein of Blackberry.

Just when you think Charlotte couldn't get any cuter!
Glad it's given you some quality knitting time;-)

Charlotte is the exact same age my Camden was when she started ballet. She wasn't 3 yet but her sister was in ballet and she wanted in too. We put her in the 3 year old class and she LOVED it. She has been taking for a year now and loves it more every day. Yesterday was her first ballet/tap combo class and she likes it even more than just ballet. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have, it's wonderful.

Happy knitting!

It looks like she's going to handle the 3 yo class just fine!

Great work on the socks! Interesting idea to stripe the two colorways.
