Knitting Ninja

Friday, January 13th, 2012 11 comments


I burst out laughing when I opened this on Christmas morning – my manga obsessed 15 year old created this for me as a gift. She also made her father a t-shirt with an image of a samurai, and baked her heart out for every member of the family.

I’ve also posted a close up on my flickr stream. Should I put the kid to work so that we have a knitting ninja calendar in 2013?

    Yes!!!! I would so buy one of those – even pay to get it shipped all the way to NZ!

  2. Yes! And give her some of your line of yarn … maybe it’ll get incorporated into the artwork.

  3. You are lucky parents to receive such wonderful handmade gifts – she has a great eye! Oh, yes, I would buy one.

  4. Très drôle!!

    That’s awesome!

  8. [...] Knitting Ninja! Veronik Avery received a really rather wonderful gift from her clearly talented 15-year-old daughter… [...]

  9. Very amusing. We have a page from a graphic novel framed in our house, courtesy of my daughter. Similar import, but a bit more serious. I love this humorous take.

    Definitely! but be forewarned: at that age, I pressed my daughters into service making miniloaves for holiday gifts, and have forever been scolded at any holiday timenabout the “banana bread sweatshop”!
