Not much to report...

I don't have much to say this week other than that I finished my Stary Cowl! I love this yarn; it was my souvenir from St Louis, and it was so lovely to knit with. The beading was tedious, but the result was well worth it. I don't like how it curls (stockinette, go figure!), but I'm happy enough with it to not do a re-knit. Here 'tis!

I've already found a lovely little cowl pattern to use up the last of this beautiful yarn; I'll be casting that on later today. I also want to start playing with some fingerless gloves this weekend, but as I'm on it might be a bit hard to do.

I was so tickled this week because after years of wanting to do it, I finally got to teach my first Latin lesson! I'm using it as part of my grammar program; the idea being that it's easier to understand English grammar in the context of another language. The kids seemed to enjoy it, and I'm so tickled to finally have this dream come true! Also, in grade 8 & 9 literature I started reading the kids The Giver, a book that I've wanted to have the right group to do it with for a long time. I might write a book review or two this week and post it; not sure how my time is going to pan out yet...

So, that's me for this week! Happy weekend!
