Article: square with the child. Teach the child to garter stitch by knitting every row. Take turns knitting rows of stitches so you create a basic 6 inches (15cm) square. Knitting back and forth with the child will give you a chance to guide them and correct mistakes. The child can use the finished garter stitch square as a tiny placemat, toy blanket, or rug for a toy. If the child is at least 6 or 7 years old, show them what a standard knitting pattern looks like. Tell them what a few of the symbols and abbreviations mean. If you're looking at a pattern chart, show the child how to read from the bottom to the top. Don't worry if the child doesn't completely understand the patterns. If they're learning very simple projects, they won't need to rely on a chart. Once the child is ready to work by themselves for a while, choose a basic project that only requires knit or purl stitches. Choose a simple design such as a washcloth, scarf, swatches, or a doll's blanket. Check on the child occasionally to see if they need your help. Ensure that the child can finish 1 simple project before moving on to another one. It's inevitable that the child will make mistakes as they're learning to knit. Instead of simply fixing the mistake, show them they made the error and what you can do to fix it. The child will learn how to avoid that mistake and will understand that they can move beyond their mistakes. Children learn at different rates so follow the child's lead. If the child is very interested in learning how to knit, they may pick it up quickly. Never force the child to practice knitting if they don't want to learn. Instead, help the child and instruct them when they come to you to work on stitches. Remember to encourage and praise the child's successes. Kids want to feel proud of their accomplishments and are more likely to stick with something if they feel supported.

Article: For this recipe, you need to preheat the oven at 350 degrees. Pull out a flat baking sheet and spray with nonstick spray. Set the pan aside. Take the stale bread and crumble it in a medium bowl. Stir in the flour, cayenne pepper, and salt. Pour in the milk. It should start to feel like dough. Mix in the cheese. Knead the dough until the cheese is well mixed in. Since ingredients were rationed in the war, the amount of fresh flour is minimal. The use of stale bread allowed every resource to be used for something. If the mixture is too dry, add in a little milk at a time to thin it out. Roll the dough until it is about a 14 inch (0.6cm) thick. Cut the dough into strips that are 6 inches (15.2cm) long and a 1/2 inch wide. You may need to dust your work surface with flour so the dough doesn't stick to it. Place the straws in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool before serving.

Article: Be sure to place the fabric either face-down or face-up depending on how your printer feeds the paper from the tray to the printing area. You want the ink to go directly onto the fabric. If you're not sure how your printer feeds paper through, do a test run by printing onto regular printer paper. Only inkjet printers can print onto fabric, so double-check that your printer isn't a laser printer. You may also want to do a test print of the image so the sizing, color, and orientation settings are correct. If not, you may need to adjust your printer settings. Before you press the print button, make sure that you've selected your desired print settings. For instance, you might want to select the highest quality settings possible or change the size of the print. If your printer has a high-quality photo setting, select that one because it will give you the clearest image. Place the printed product onto a dry, flat surface and let it dry for at least 1 day. Even if it feels dry to the touch, it's better to wait to peel it off just in case. It may be tempting to peel some of it back right away to get a peek, but doing so could cause the ink to run and, as a result, distort and smudge the image. Once the ink is dry, wedge your fingernail into one of the corners between the two sheets and carefully peel them apart. Go slowly and be careful not to stretch or pull on the fabric. It may help to place the bonded sheets near the edge of a flat surface and bend one of the corners back.
