  108. The child who isn't currently outgrowing, will eventually, trust me! My son was slow to gain weight, but is now almost 6' 7" tall! I did love knitting for both of my now grown children. and I did teach my daughter to knit. She loved to help me knit chemo caps, just knitting in circles until the skein was finished. Now, she's so busy with university she has not time to knit :(
