There are many changes and some exciting news for me to share with you today. The first announcement is that I got a job! I am now working as an Instructional Assistant in a local Elementary school. I am really enjoying the work. It was a bit of a whirlwind, because I was interviewed and hired on a Wednesday and had to report to work the following Monday. That first week was the week before school started, so I had to scramble to find child care. Along with that new activity, my daughter was working on a play. I was drafted into running the light board for the play and so had to be at every performance and dress rehearsal. So, I was working every day and on Thursdays and Fridays, I was working from 8:30am until midnight. It was a crazy four weeks.
Now that I have lived through that, things are getting back to a pretty regular schedule. I have started knitting again a bit and have finished two languishing projects and have made good progress on my Ingenue sweater. I have other projects that need to get started, but alas, they will have to wait. There is much to be done!
In Knit One, Teach One news, I have started a new knitting group. Our first meeting will be tomorrow, Monday, before school. I have had at least 3 teachers tell me that they are coming to learn how to knit or to learn new techniques. My homework has been to come up with some basic patterns for them to knit. I think that flat knit handwarmers and cowls will be a great start for them. I will need to have my donated needles ready and will need to think of other items that they will need. It’s a bit of a crash course, but it’s a perfect way for me to start a new official Knit One, Teach One group. Hopefully, I will soon be able to do a knitting group with students, but this first venture looks to be promising!
More news to come….
