Whoa, it's fun writing down accomplishments and seeing what you've done.
I'm not entirely sure where this blog is going to go, but I think I'll keep trying to write as often as possible. If nothing else, it'll prove as a fun mentor text to show my 8th graders if I ask them to start blogging. Or, maybe I'll just use it as a space to show off what I'm currently knitting :)
Currently, I'm sitting on my couch binge watching some crappy TV on Netflix. Being a teacher is tough - I think I've had the flu or some sort of cold for over two weeks now. I've finally given in and taken a day off, which means lots of tea and knitting; it gave me the perfect chance to start the sweater I've been dying to knit.
Do you watch Scandal? Olivia wears this incredible sweater in two different colors. I found it online and it's close to $2,000, so I've decided to knit it myself. After hours on Ravelry, I believe I've found something similar and so much cheaper to knit. A few weeks ago, I cast on the Chloe Cardigan by Jo Storie and I am IN LOVE so far. I'll be posting some progress pics on my Ravelry as I go. Check back for updates!
