I have a mild case of face blindness and I only see them a few seconds a year. And kids change so much.
At Friday’s Stitches, there was some random mom and her young son, five, maybe even six years old, who was clearly trying to be on his best behavior but also was clearly bored with this whole yarn-everything-everywhere-ness.
So I did what I do and coming up from behind, caught her attention and offered her a finger puppet for her kiddo to help make wool his happy place, too, for a distraction. He was still young enough for these.
Caught off guard, she turned around to me and laughed in sudden delight and proclaimed, “He’s got a collection from you!”
My box is starting to get a bit low. I’ll need to order more soon.
