Knitting Scarfs
My oldest daughter is keen on knitting scarfs
She uses a pet bottle and disposable wooden chopsticks to make scarfs
She looks enjoying doing simple task silently
She’s working both at day care and home for many hours
When she works, she can’t hear whatever we say
Thanks to her effort, her sister, her mother and I got nice scarfs ![]()
My youngest daughter is proud of wearing it



Very nice scarfs!
Thank you so much
She is very talented!
Many thanks She is proud of it
I admire people who are clever with their hands. Did you get the brown scarf of the pink-and-blue one?
I think so I use brown one That is so warm
箸でスカーフもできたんですか?!
ええ〜不思議ですね!
パパのスカーフはチョコレートのでしょうね。
よく考えられていると思います。そうです。私のは、茶色です。:)
How lovely!
Thanks!
wow, i am so impressed!!
Thank you!
How lovely – and what an interesting way to make them.
Many thanks I’m happy to wear it
That’s very nice. I remember doing something like that when I was young, although I think it was much smaller. You must be happy to wear something your daughter made.
Thank you I’m very happy to wear it and glad to know that you also did it
Your kids are the best! They seem so sweet and talented and most importantly, childlike! I’m sure you know how rare those 3 qualities are in modern society: give yourself and ENORMO pat on the back for encouraging all the right values!
I want that device she uses to make the scarves! Is it homemade? If so, are commercial versions available? I’ve never seen anything like it!
Thank you for your kind comment Yes, they weren’t made ny machine It’s very important to think them precious
The divide is handmade It’s not commercial good I’ll ask my child and tell you how to make it
This site shows how to make this ((sorry it’s only Japanese but you may understand it )

I love knitting. You will like it when she makes you a beautiful scarf
Thanks! I know that you like it
Of course, I’m happy when I wear it
The scarfs wrap your throats with the additional warmth of love!
Indeed Thanks much
It’s always warm
She must be very happy to know the whole family is wearing her creations! I recently learned how to knit this way too, but not with chopsticks.
That’s also good for you My oldest daughter is proud of it and looks very happy
Very, very nice! Your daughter is so talented! I’m lucky if I can tie a knot!
Thank you I hope that you will wear this
Your daughter is a really hard worker! Good for her – great job!
Thank you for stopping by I’m glad to know you
変わった編み方ですね。知りませんでした。御嬢さんの優しさ、熱心さ、根気が編み目のひとつひとつに編みこまれている気がします。
ありがとうございます。 これが変わった編み方だとは知りませんでした。いつもこのやり方でやってます。 細かい仕事が好きなようです。

Your daughters are talented!!!
Thank you That’s true It’s priceless
What a great idea and beautiful scarfs!
Fae.
Many, many years ago, when I was a student in a Japanese elementary school, my sisters and I bought this wooden tube which fit in our palms (like a handle of a jumping rope). It had about 6 tiny nails on the top and came with a small metal bar/needle to knit with… it was called ‘ri ri an’ (not sure with the spelling). We knitted colorful ropes (the same way your daughter is knitting). It could be used like ribbons on the hair or some used the ropes to further weave into bags or little trinkets. Do you know what I am talking about?
Thank you for sharing I didn’t know that you have been in Japan
Have a wonderful day
I heard about ri ri an from someone.
It may be a good link about it

Wow! Thank you! The one we had was a basic one of the same thing in the article you sent. あ, なつかしい.
We lived in Japan for almost 10 years. I went to Japanese school kindergarten ~ 4th grade and then transferred to American school.
I see. Thanks again. I’m glad to know that you like Japanese culture.
Wow! These are great. I am going to try it. Are the chop sticks stuck onto the bottle with tape?
Thanks! Yes, it’s put only with tape. Good luck and if you have any questions, I’ll ask my daughter.
Wow!!! That is a great idea!!! I am so trying this!
Thanks Good luck
What a great tool for scarf making.
Thanks! It’s a great tool
