French Knitting - "mais oui oui, tres bon -"

Yesterday we started learning how to do French Knitting. Ms D showed us, a few at a time, it looked easy but it wasn't. Ms D helped everyone get started. Some people had to start and re-start. Ms D said we needed to think of the saying 'if at first you do not succeed, try, try again'.
Regan and Sreypich could see the knitting coming out the end when we had to pack up for home. Ms D wanted us to find out who was the person who said the try, try again quote.
Today Lauren told us the person was Thomas H Palmer, an American who said it in 1840. This is what we did. We kept trying and by morning tea we were addicted to French knitting and wanted to do it all day. These are pictures of us knitting, and our wrist bands.
