I open the sketchbook and actually paint in it

One of my little students is learning about insects, and she thought we should paint some bugs.

I went to Anna’s house

She's packing up her kitchen stuff, to get ready to rent out her house.

We've had our shots, so we were safe.

I took a little walk

Yes, that's me with the tiny Pinocchio head. Short nose means no lying. 

Lo and behold, a sewer cover from my own home state. 

So, as you can see this was a very exciting walk. 

First haircut in over a year

I went to 12 Corners, and got a real haircut from a real licensed person who is not me in my bathroom with the sewing scissors. 

Mr. Fuller Goes Fully Leprechaun

This is my first grade co-teacher, Mr. Fuller. We had a staff meeting on St. Pat's Day, and he really took it to heart. PS- that beard is real.

Two more tiny sweaters

This is Flax by Tincan Knits, and the one below is Dogstar, by the same talented team.

I made the colorwork sweater as a test/experiment with a yarn I hadn't tried before.

Here's the link to my Ravelry page: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/vickibo/dog-star

Random things I found on a walk

I started a complicated little baby sweater.

Okay, I haven't knitted that many sweaters, but this pattern starts out with the sleeves.  I did them two at a time. Then you go to the bottom of the body of the sweater and knit up to the collar. This just seems weird to me. I'm still learning. On the knitting skill scale from 1-10, I'm about a 3.

This pattern is called Dogstar, by TinCan Knits.

Sasha demonstrates the letter J

He is such a helpful little fellow. He heard me working on letter sounds with the kindergarten kids!

Please disregard the ugly flooring. This apartment is ancient.

I’m Indoorsy, but I went out yesterday to pick up my taxes

I did not go to the Cheesecake Factory, but the temptation was real. I see a lot of people not wearing masks, so I don't want to go to any public places (indoors) if I can avoid it.

Thank goodness for Instacart grocery delivery.

Corona Sox 8 turned out ugly!
