Out of Sadness comes... Knitting

We lost our two year old bunny, Belle yesterday. She has had a myriad of health problems, right from the get-go, but in spite of them was the most sweet-natured, cuddly, affectionate little thing I've ever come across.

Technically, she was my 9 year old son's pet, so he took the news particularly hard. Last night was a sad, quiet one for us.

Today, after school, I told both of my boys about the Knitting Olympics, and they both said they wanted to sign up for it, too. Then my 9 year old, Ben, said he should probably finish his first project before starting the next (no, he does NOT get that from me) - so he did, and is now very proud and excited to have a hat to wear that he made himself!! What a lift for his spirits! Knitting to the rescue yet again...
