WrapUp Friday

Sorry I am so late....I am exhausted...yesterday was graduation day...There were 27 of my former students graduating....

A class of almost 500 students!  They walk along the road to the football stadium...

Here are some of mine...

Alyssa, Kyle (he goes to another high school), Mignette, me, Larielyz and Ronald

Blanca...so proud of all of them!  I had them in second and in third grade and have kept in touch with many of them. 

Then last night I helped out at the all night graduation party....until midnight....

For the past two weeks, this has been my project...and yes, it's done...

I was so exhausted each day after school, that I came home and slept for 2 hours!

But there was one fun thing this week....

These are my co-workers...I edited the video just a bit....enjoy!

Stitch Along Wednesday: Week 24

Nothing happening this week...I've been so tired from packing my room, Ive come home and taken two hour naps....I'll have an update next week...as today is my LAST DAY of SCHOOL!!!!!!!  It's been a long 2 1/2 days!

As always, please link back...thanks...

Stitch Along Wednesday: Week 23

Next Wednesday will be my last Wednesday of the school year, which means, I'll still have to do the post on Tuesday night...So I started packing up my room on Monday and gouged my right pointer finger pretty badly, which meant no crafting when I got home.  It's feeling better today, but still didn't craft....tomorrow, we have a field trip...so I may be too exhausted....and it looks like I'm going to be looping with my class, that means I'll have the same students next year in third grade.  I've done this twice and both times it was a really positive experience...still mad at how it all went down, but coming to terms....

But I did craft this weekend!  If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen these pictures already...

When I saw this yarn, I knew I needed it...it's called Porch Swing....and look, it's on my porch swing!

It is becoming a Miss Winkle...

The loops are a bit tricky and one is backwards, but I'm okay with that...

I also finished the first repeat on my Garter Path Shawl...

I added the contrast gold color to my Irish Oak, there are only 10 rows left...

And during Game of Thrones, I worked on my Fortune's Shawlette, as it is crochet and I can do that without paying attention to my hands..

So how about you?  Please link up and join us...

So school is still happening, this is our final full week....sigh...and now I have to go in and pack up my entire room....I hate doing that!  I'm still pretty upset about it, but resigned....and I don't hate third grade....and I'll get some of my kids back from this year....so that's a plus....but still....

Anyway, I worked on two shawls this week....and added a few rows to a sock....

Yesterday I started a Miss Winkle....with this gorgeous yarn from Groovy Hues, called Porch Swing...
and I worked on my Garter Path Shawl...I am almost done with the first repeat...

That's about it, but seriously, I just want to cast a bunch of things on....sigh...

Stash Acquisition Saturday

Yesterday, I received the news that I'm moving to a new grade level...I am not happy...in fact, I'm pretty pi$$ed off about it.....there really isn't anything I can do...and the principal couldn't seem to give me a reason why.....it just sucks, cuz you have to pack up your whole classroom to move...and I'm moving upstairs, which is not good for my knees....anyhow...a friend said, go buy yarn!..

I was just on etsy...and had two things in my shopping cart that I have been wanting...but I didn't buy...why?  Because I have bought a massive amount of yarn lately...I have this post from May, as well as one from April, two in March, here and here, February  and two in January, here and here. 

I have been trying to log it all on to Ravelry, but have fallen behind.....I also really have no place to store it right now...I'm running out of space...and I think I've actually only used one of those skeins so far....
 
but yarn makes me happy and I'm not guaranteeing I won't buy some this weekend...the stuff I want is dyed to order, so it'll be a couple weeks before I get it....I have at least three orders in the mail right now and another one or two I am waiting on.....

But, what do I have to show you now?  Here goes!

I showed you a picture of what I got at RI Sheep festival, but here is each individual thing...

These are destined for a baby gift, probably a sweater....the Tails and Snouts (the variegate) is a new yarn dyer for me....and Dirty Water Dyeworks, I have several of her things...

Molly Girl (another new dyer) in a sparkle base...Mission Bells

Play At Life, Jest Sock in Gloaming....I got home, checked my stash and sure enough, already have a skein of this...one massive shawl coming up!  She did offer to switch it out at the Mass Sheep and Wool, but I didn't have it with me...

Play at Life, Jest Sparkle, Supernatural inspired...I Found a Liquor Store and I Drank It.

Tails and Snouts, mashup of Sunrise and Coral Reef II, not a true self-stripe, but will stripe...

 Dirty Water Dyeworks...Crystal...Merino/yak/silk....in Burnishing Gold

And Sangria, which is SW BFL....I just felt the need for a deep red....



In the mail.....


Latest Random Fandom, Heat 'Em Up, inspired by Ghostbusters...it's 100% Pima Cotton...

Hand Dyed by Kate...there is a KAL going on for this one, but I haven't started it....this came from England...Moody Melon...it is watermelon inspired, but darker...

Let's Go Goat Hunting....it made me laugh!...

Sunny Skies by CuppyCake Yarnz....no explanation needed....

A TOAK Tuesday, Just Because, from Witch Candy...she makes Two on A Tuesday...I was actually home on a Tuesday to get one...the colors are intense!

Not sure I ever posted the Shawl Kit I received from Miss Babs....It is subtly gorgeous!

or this one by Cornbread and Honey...Enchanted Rainbow...

And now onto Massachusetts Sheep and Wool....

June Pryce Fiber Arts

Holiday Yarns, Snowy Branches and Irish Red

Mad Color Rowena, I recently was sorted into House Ravenclaw....

And a self-stripe...Bright Side....This was the first time Heather has vended at this event....it was great to see her....

So today, I'm either going to go shopping again...I really do need that BB-8 yarn...I have already ordered the Dory yarn, Just Keep Swimming....or I may cast on a massive load of things.....we'll see....

Wrap-Up Friday

I have a finish!  Well two small ones.....

Bunting!  Yes, it's 7.5 days before school ends and we are having a door contest...*sigh*

And to go along with the yellow theme...I made myself a quick bow....

How about you?

Stitch Along Wednesday: Week 22

Good morning!  I'm actually typing this on Wednesday morning...early Wednesday morning!  So tired still..

So yes, I have some WIPs, I have worked on..yeah!

This is a new project...it was a KAL, which is now over....The Very Shannon Tops, Tanks and Tees Knitalong  

At the time, I couldn't find the yarn I had bought for the top, but I found it on Monday and started the Meandering Top....This is both sides...I think I ended up doing the edge backwards, so I'm going to have to flip it inside out....

I also restarted for the third time my Garter Path Shawl....I actually marked where I was in the pattern this time...

So, hopefully that will be coming along nicely soon....

So what have you been up to?  Please link back...thanks...
