Time

So school was officially over on the 17th. The plans to spin, weave, and knit were all in place. Sometimes life happens. I volunteered to help at a math institute in Quincy, WA. So every day, I was back up an my normal school day getting ready to team teach 2 groups of students moving into 1st grade. It was fun but challenging. On Thursday, we had to stay late because the institute had a math night for the migrant families. It was fun to meet the parents of our children. Many did not speak English but you could tell the love & pride they had in their kids. These are hard working families that are doing whatever it takes to help their children have a better life.

So between 3-6 p.m., I sat in my classroom with my partner teacher and worked with fiber. She is knitting a scarf for a foreign exchange student that is returning to France and I brought my spinning wheel. This was a 50 gram package of pencil roving. It was wonderful to spin (merino). I am getting better at having more consistent thickness. I ended up with about 106 yards. Not sure what I will do with it-give it away, knit a scarf...who knows. I do have one more package. Maybe do some mittens?
