I've been into Chinese macrame and knotting recently and did up a bunch of Chinese knotted dragonfly keychains. Nadya had been asking me to teach her and I kept putting it off because I felt it would be too complicated for her.
Finally showed her yesterday evening and she surprised me when she picked up the knotting quite fast. Sure, I'd helped her hold the strings together here and there so they don't get tangled up but she knew which string to go where and whether it was above or under and through which loop.
Well done Nadya!!
Note to self: Don't underestimate children, especially your own....
