February 25, 2006 Skating Break

Perhaps I was inspired by the Olympics (regular, not knitting version) to take a break from knitting for a little ice dancing with the 3 year old. This was his first time on skates and after a few tears (I think the skates just felt really wierd on his feet) he seemed to enjoy it. How one transfers from holding the child up the entire time to having him skate on his own seems a little beyond me at this point. I hadn't been on skates in quite a while myself, but I managed a few wobbly figure 8s. No triple toe loops, however.
