Henry plays euphonium. His right hand rubs on the metal finish and it gives him a rash. Instead of having the instrument refinished which costs a fortune, Mom gave him a simple solution.

| No matter how big he think he is, that's still a little child's hand. |

Great idea. I like how you showed the price as $0 much better than having the instrument refinished.
Great solution. Now, are you going to make several different versions so he can match his outfits? LOL
Great idea, and with the ribbing he'll have room to grow. Also, hi rascal! My pups say hello to you!
Great way to solve the problem. Bet all his friends will be wanting one next. lol
Great solution - but I'll call him The Mitted One. And keeping rashes at bay - priceless. :)
And until you asked the question, I would have missed Rascal in the first photo!
Very nice! Our kids are so lucky to have their own personal knitters!
Good idea! For once knitting actually does save money ;) It looks good too :)
Hooray for quick easy and exceptionally useful projects!
I love functional fiber arts!
Excellent solution, Vivian!!
Excellent idea! It looks great too.
Very spiffy, how nice to have a talented young one who appreciates your work! He's lookin good with his euphonium! (which I will be googling after this comment, lol)
I was just thinking he needed a skin-colored one for recitals!
Nice job... and very cool that he's modeling his new mitt. :-)
BTW, I love that you put the Chinese after the English... not that I can read it. ;-)
Great idea!!! :)
Genius!
See! Knitting solves all problems!
Great idea and it looks pretty cool. Give that little Rascal some love from me and LittleDog. Even though he's sound asleep and unaware of the obligations I'm placing on him.
Three cheers for mom! Great solution.
I LOVE the solution!!!! Great job mom!
