Yarn Arts

I'm a little astonished at how things are going with my turtle-paced crochet and knitting project. Despite my sad and slow attempts to create something usable with yarn, I have now:

- organized a knitting/crocheting get together at the Muttart through Ravelry; we'll see if it becomes a regular event
- gotten a few students excited about playing with string during a lunch hour once a week starting after Spring Break

Hopefully this will help keep me motivated in my projects (and surround myself with people who likely know way more than I do).

On an aside, only a couple more teaching days before Spring Break. Sadly, I'm once again drowning in marking. On the upside, it is better to get the marking now instead of in June!

The Muttart is possibly something I could do with baby. When?

This is what I posted on Ravelry once some people expressed interest:

"Let’s try to meet Sunday, April 3rd around 2:30ish. If there is space in Culina’s (which is just inside the front doors), we can meet there. If you don’t see anyone there because it is too busy, look in the central court, just beyond the cash desk.

Once it gets nice, there are lots of tables outside, too, that we could meet. The outside garden beds are as amazing as some of the display shows inside the building (and free!)."

we'll see how things are that day!
