Wowsers, It has Been a Long Time

So, uh. Hi. I've been really really busy. You simply cannot believe how busy I've been. I've been student teaching, and I've decided that teaching isn't for me. I now want to become either a librarian or stenographer, since there are significantly fewer kids involved. The kids, they drive me bonkers, and don't listen to me at all. Next Friday is my last day, then I graduate and I'm free. Sweet, sweet freedom.

I've knit a few things in the meantime, but not as many as I would have liked, since I have about an hour of free time a night. I'm making a pair of fingerless gloves, and I made an Everlasting Bagstopper bag, and I've started a few different pairs of socks, and haven't gotten far on them because of time constraints. I wore a hole in my Petticoat socks and darned them (Darn!) I made another Le Slouch hat, and another Quant.

I also went to a yarn store and bought (gasp!) yarn! I got four skeins of 100% silk laceweight yarn (for socks for Mom and Grandmom), and one skein of Pima cotton and silk sock yarn (for me mwa ha ha!)!

Ouch, I have a papercut! Pain!

My roommate who I taught to knit has made a scarf and a hat, and is making a pair of fingerless gloves (wristwarmers). I'm so proud.

Oh yeah I also made a black baby hat with a skull and cross-bones cross stitched on it for a preggy friend. She's a goth, of course, so the baby needed a "Skull cap." I think I need to make another in a larger size for the growing-ness tendencies of babies and the cuteness factor involved. Wow that sentence was confusing.

Anyways, hopefully after next week I can catch up with pictures and start posting regularly again. I intend to start a lace shawl (narrowed it down to two choices) and need to finish the mothers silk socks for mothers day hopefully.

May rain fall and dissolve your troubles and lull you to sleep with pattering on a tin roof.
