So I really didn't do much this past week....was sick two days and then working on the aforementioned correcting and grading....
Yesterday I did take a class at Stitches United about Selbu Mittens...it was the first class I've ever taken and it was pretty good. I left a few minuted early to head to the March for Our Lives at the capital in Hartford. It was awesome...I'll have a post about it later this week....I'll also post about Stitches and the haul...but here is a picture of my mitt(s) before I left class...
and I pulled out my Kai-mei socks the day I stayed home sick...yeah there is a dropped stitch quite a few rows down, I'm going to have to rip it out...it's back in time out...
So I guess that is about it...not too exciting this week...come back and visit me later in the week....

Around the World Afghan: (April 2010): about ¼ done - I looked at this recently and I'm still liking it, so I'll keep it...maybe make it a baby blanket instead.

The selbu mittens look lovely, and I look forward to seeing these progress.
Glad you enjoyed the class. I like taking classes to try out new things without investing too much. It's a good way to see if I like something before I dive in. Also when I took a drop spindle spinning class it was really good to see and feel the correct twist in person!
The March sounds awesome. As a Canadian I find your tolerance for guns and assault weapons mystifying.
Your mitten looks good. I am glad you are enjoying the class.
So glad you are feeling better too. Now you need to stay healthy so you can enjoy your spring break!
The green pops great against that cream. We have a shortened day Thursday and no school Friday. Then next week is spring break!
I had some start and stops with the teen's first sock but now it's in the right place.
It sounds like a busy week to me. Sorry you were sick. Glad you're feeling better and hopefully that can continue into the next weeks and your spring break. I'll look forward to seeing your Selbu mittens grow. :)
Love your Selbu mittens and the green against the ivory...so pretty. You are getting a lot of finishes done already this month...just get through this next week and you can rest! LOL!
