Hey Teach, there are holes in your sweater!

ummm...they are supposed to be there! But one of my 2 year old Kindermusik students didn't know that when she started sticking her fingers through the lace on my sleeve when I wore it to class last Friday. This sweater is perfect for summer days of teaching, lightweight and cool without revealing too much.


An another note, I will be going to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this weekend with Lyndsay and Aimee, Matt will be coming along as our handsome chauffeur and pack-mule. I was not going to go to the festival this year considering my finances and my overflowing stash. But Matt convinced me that I wanted to go, I'm not sure why he is so supportive of my addiction. But I am going under the condition that I will not buy a lot of things and to ensure that I will be focusing on photographing the day instead of just shopping. We will be making it a day-tripping on Saturday and I'm sure even if I don't spend a dime, it will be a blast with three of my favorite people.

On a professional note, my article is in the final stages of editing and will be published this summer! I'm so excited, its such a great opportunity. There are only 6 weeks left of the school year and I am busy preparing my students for a recital in May. While I will be teaching over the summer, I will have some time off on top of that.

I hope to post a picture laden post after this weekend!

My New Car...in my dreams

Here I am at the NYC Car Show in a Pontiac G6 This is a very nice hardtop convertible with a back seat. I very nice car...a girl can dream, right?


Matt had a great time at the car show. He especially enjoyed sitting in this Honda S2000


But even more than the Honda he liked this Ford Mustang. It is a sharp looking car.



I also tried out the Pontiac Solstice. Also a really nice car, but it felt like I was in a race car, really low to the ground and I don't know how much I would enjoy driving it. Matt had trouble getting his knees under the wheel, but I fit perfectly.

To sum up our day in NYC, it was great to see Laurie, it was a beautiful day, there was a lot of walking, but also good food, sights, and people.

There will be a knitting related post very soon!

$5/recession sweater

I wanted to prove that fashionable knitting can be affordable as well. Here is my version of the Mr. Greenjeans sweater using Caron One Pound. I used only one skein of this yarn which I got on sale for $4.50. Its machine washable, and lighter weight than wool, which makes it perfect for spring and a layering sweater for air conditioning in the summer.
