Nothing to do with knitting or books, but I found these cool online activites. Have fun!
On a different note...

Cousin's Blanket
Posted in on by
I've started a new project. My cousin is pregnant and due in April. I've started a baby blanket. It is based on a project I found on Ravelry. A basketweave stitch with a seed stitch border. Of course I have other things to work on, but I continue to focus on this instead.
This week is Children's Book Week. A great week to share fabulous books with kids. In my library we are studying Caldecott Award winners and have upper school students sharing with lower school students.

Knitting Club
Posted in on by
This past week the art teacher and I started a knitting club in school. We offered it to the 5th-8th graders. We had 4 girls and 2 boys show up. 5 of the kids were first time knitters. We were teaching them basic garter stitch, but with only 20 minutes there was barely enough time. We'll continue each week, and hopefully they'll make a scarf at some point.
Happy Anniversary!

Today is our one year anniversary. As my husband says we are no longer newlyweds. Unfortunately I have to go to work today, so I don't get to spend the day with him.

My Sock
Posted in on by
I started this sock in August. It's sad that it has taken me this long to finish ONE sock. Maybe it's not too long, but it seems like forever. I haven't had time to sit and knit. So tonight, being sick and watching the Yankee game I was able to finish one sock. I love the colors of this yarn.
Tomorrow on the train I may start the second sock. I'm going to the the city to see "A Chorus Line". I can't wait!

First Day
Posted in on by
Labor Day weekend was nice. I got to relax on Saturday, Sunday we went to the beach with my husband's family and Monday I planned more lessons. Not terribly exciting, but a nice way to end the summer.
Today was my first day with the kids at school. It was great. I thought I'd feel nervous, but I was very calm. I enjoyed the classes and I think the students enjoyed it too. I also thought it might be hard being a new school, but I felt really comfortable. I shared The Library Dragon by Carmen Agra Deedy with my fourth graders and The Librarian from the Black Lagoon by Mike Thaler and Jared Lee with the second graders.
Because of all of the prep for this week I have done no knitting. I'm looking forward to some time to knit this weekend.
