☑ Waratah chose to get an early start on making Christmas cards. (He has also chosen to listen exclusively to Christmas music at bedtime for the past few weeks).
Waratah liked the sample yarn wrapped cross I had made which finished off the God's Eye pattern. He asked me to teach him how to do it. After a only a little instruction he quickly got the hang of it and was very pleased to finish his own example. (He promptly stuck "Merry Christmas" stickers on it to make it into a Christmas gift.)
