YOP: Week 16

Having two days off last week was not enough...it has been an extremely stressful year for me...several teachers have stopped me and told me they don't know how I do it...the makeup of the classroom is just very, very tough this year and I am exhausted every day....this week I have the last of our training on Tuesday....I still have a personal day left to take this year.....and there are 42 days left...
But on to the crafting....I have spent time on several different items...
Number 1 is my Green Spring cardigan, as it is my dissertation for Nerd Wars, I have 7 days to complete it.  Today I need to wind the yarn for the buttonband....the main body of the sweater is complete...just need the buttonband, the edging and the surface crochet to finish it...

I also started on the heel flap of the H's Everyday socks...

I pulled my Plum Pudding Round Ripple out of hibernation last week and have completed about 6 more rounds...it's almost big enough to call it quits....

I also worked on this cotton orange wrap thing that I have no idea when I started it.....and I only have two balls of the yarn, so it'll be quick to finish..I made it to wear over tank tops in the summer...

I also purchased some yarn and several new patterns this past week....and I have been itching to start something new....but having pulled out all of the projects that I could find yesterday...I have plenty to keep me busy right now....but I really want a yellow beret...(not a raspberry one!)
