- I don’t have time to do it all.
Sitting on the couch quietly knitting. Book upon life-giving book, read-aloud and mused silently. Snowstorm walks and cocoa at home. Games of memory and giggles with hide n’ seek.
Time spent here, is an investment that gives back 10-fold.
Soul-sucking headlines. 24/7 news. Internet gossip. Tiring commutes. Moving piles of chaos from one room to another. Comparison traps and “relaxing” that fatigues our souls.
Time owned by these things puts me in debt.
When I spend freely on this gamble, I always lose.
It’s flashy, promising a high and a dazzle, but leaves life empty, wanting--stealing our precious savings-making the world around us dull and unappealing, so we rush back to the empty promise as soon as we can.
But spending freely on the mundane. THAT’S what makes life a joy. The smallest tasks sparkle with real rest and contentment.
A Child, Nature, Rest . . . the most beautiful things in God’s Creation, don’t sizzle and pop in a pan. But by leaning in and really looking, that is where we are satisfied.
In Him. In His economy.

Thank you Iam going to give this a try. I would love the video to show my grand kids of kids knitting.
We will be doing this this weekend! My 6 year old has been asking me all week to teach her to knit, so this was perfect timing! I'll be showing my 4 year old as well 😊
Love your new style of documenting and inspiring us!!
This is soooooo wonderful. I love the intro and I’m so glad you are back! The GIADC (esp the new mini series) has already helped me so much be motivated to teach my kids skills that will benefit their little brains rather than sit in front of a screen 😢 (which we’ve done too much of!)
My kids (9 & 11) have been begging to learn to crochet since I do and I just haven’t had it in me. But now I see I can teach them and my 4 and 7 yo too! I’m going for it! Thank you!!
I am really loving all your videos! They certainly align with our beliefs and values. They have been challenging me to take the plunge in areas that the Lord has already been placing on my heart. I really appreciate you both and your beautiful family
If thursdays are your upload day than Thursday’s are my new favorite day!!!
Aww! Day made!
Oh my gosh I'm excited to see this just for me. I want to learn how to knit.
I love love love this. I started knitting recently and my husband started cross-stitching. We love being able to relax with it but my 5 and 3 year old want to do something for themselves. They started “embroidery” with thin yarn, tapestry needles and those small plastic grids, but it is was more complicated to set set up than knitting .
Thank you Katie for sharing you’re wealth of info! You have inspired me so much in my life! I’ll be here every Thursday!
One of my kiddos is turning 4 this month and this would be such a great birthday present! Thanks for sharing💞
Lovet it! I have a 5 yearl old and 4 year old, definitely going to be trying this. Thank you for sharing 😊
Katie, I like these motivational new videos style. May God continue to give you wisdom and strength. You have so much energy and inspiration, it’s amazing. Praise to God!
Yay love the new style guys! Can’t wait to try knitting with the kids🎉
Love this! you are so motivating katie I wish we were real life friends LOL
wow how cool Katie! so encouraging to see your kids liking it and doing a good job at it! I know how to knit but didn't think I could teach my 2.5 year old anytime soon. now its on my radar! thank you for always inspiring us :)
Thank you so much for sharing! So excited to do this with my kiddos.
That's so cool! I learned from my grandma, starting age 7 :)
I’m so excited about this video! My daughters are autistic (8 and 9) and want to learn to knit!
I love your video's! I teach crochet and knitting. It is a wonderful craft. Great for their motor skills too.
Im always so inspired by your family! Going to try this out with my little kiddos!
GENIUS!
Great first video. Thanks¡
I have been wondering how to teach my grandchildren to knit. I tried showing a 5 year old but it was too complicated for her. Hopefully going to see her soon now she's 7, so I will use all your tips!
this was perfect
Thanks. My granddaughter wants to do something with yarn and I told her when she turns 5 which is next month. I think we will be starting soon.
Thank you. Very helpful :)
Love this! I'm a huge knitter and am so excited to teach my child to knit! One note: you mentioned to get a worsted weight yarn, but that weight is a little thinner than what it looks like you are using. It looks like the yarn you used is a chunky/bulky weight.
If you don’t understand it, put the playback speed as 0.25, so easy to understand what’s happening now
Thank you! I have an 8yo at church and my own kids who have asked me to teach them. Also what's the pattern and yarn for the beautiful sweater you're wearing please 😍
Awesome, thank you so much! My 4-year-old daughter has been wanting to learn how knit, but I don't know how...so now we can learn together. :) One question, do you have any tips for if a child (like my daughter) is left-handed? Would you still teacher her to hold the needles, yarn, etc. the same way, or should she switch hands? Thank you again!
Lovely video! What brand of yarn did you get?
I’m personally more familiar with crocheting. Do you think knitting is easier or better? Just curious. Loved your intro!
Hey there! I crochet and knit and chose to teach my 8 year old how to crochet first. I think you’d probably be better off with starting what you are most familiar with as the teacher!
How long are the needles?
6min mark is where the tutorial starts
Your intro is cute but to long. Almost 60 seconds, why?
