Good morning! I skipped last week, as I didn't have much to say. I did post a new vlog though, I will link it at the end.
I have not finished anything. I have been skipping around and working on several WIPs...chiefly my Beekeeper Cardigan. It took me a few minutes to remember where I was....and then I started back on it...and I kept working on it, until I hit a "I don't want to do anything wall" Yeah, so the past couple of days, I haven't worked on anything.
And oh I do have a finish! I made my Mom a Snoopy and Woodstock for Mother's Day.
We have 3 weeks of school left.....I love teaching, and I miss my kids, but I will be glad when this year is over....
I have to go in on Tuesday to pack what I can of my room.....we are each given 2 hours. I have another 2 hours the following week because of my mobility issues, I am very slow, so they gave me another two hours.

Love all of your stripey sock yarn. And the stitch pattern in the beekeeper is lovely. We are preparing here for a potential return to school but I don't know what that is going to look like yet - our head has said it won't happen until the 15th at the earliest.
Ah yes, I remember those days of packing up a classroom after years end - I am glad they are giving you extra time. I love the stitch on the beekeeper sweater - very cool. I too have some days that I don't feel like knitting - I would rather be swimming - but that isn't going to happen anytime soon - unless I get a wetsuit and head into the ocean. It may come to that.
The yarn color in your Bee Keeper sweater is just gorgeous!
Here from Meredith's blog. Lovely to see all of your WIPS. I really like the striped socks. Woodstock and Snoopy are so cute and well done they must be loved by your mother. Hope your packing up goes well at the school. Stay safe
We are so alike! I'm not happy unless I have a zillion projects on the go! Then I get overwhelmed and need to finish them all which I have not done yet! LOL!
I love the fact that you knit such a wonderful variety and also don't stick to the same colors all the time. Some podcasts knit the same color over and over and although they may love it....viewers get tired of it....especially if it's not THEIR favorite color! LOL! You make beautiful items and I always love your yarns! My daughter has the same thing going on. She's allowed so much time to go and pack up and clean up her rooms. She has multiple schools as she teaches art. Have a great week and enjoy those lovely castons!
I just signed up for six months of a Space Cadet club, so some dyeing must be going on.
Be back soon to watch another of your videos.
I love Snoopy and Woodstock, very cute and what a lovely Mother’s Day gift. As you seem to suffer from 2nd sock syndrome, with so many pairs awaiting their buddy, have you tried knitting two at a time. For me it makes both socks seem to knit up much faster. Sorry if I’ve already suggested this, but I noticed on your sock WIP vlog you had lot of 2nd socks to do. I’ll catch up on your latest vlog soon.
