And I am done!

Bus Driver #1:

Bus Driver Handwarmer
Pattern: Hand/Wrist Warmers by Joelle Hoverson
Yarn: Artyarns Handpaint Stripes in colorway #141


Teacher #2:

Soap pouch and washcloth
Pattern: Teapot Mat by Jo Sharp
Yarn: Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid in Ivory


Bus Driver #2:

Bus Driver Handwarmers
Pattern: Maine Morning Mitts by Clara Parkes
Yarn: Artyarns Supermerino in colorway 209


And just another baby hat because Paperino's baseball game laster longer than I thought (am I the only one who thinks that watching baseball is like watching paint dry?) and all I had with me was leftover yarn from the Bus Driver Handwarmer:

Just Another Baby Hat

And now I can turn my attention back to the plan: June yarn is Hemp Traders 55% Hemp/45% Wool and the designed project for it is Jay by Debbie Bliss.

One Down

Two week, more or less, and school is over. The kids and I are counting the days, yes, for once, I am counting the days too, because they kids are off to Italy for two months as soon as school is out. I am sure I'll miss them terribly, but ..... 2 weeks completely alone, 4 weeks alone with my husband? I am sure I will be so happy to see them again, after I have enjoyed so much "me time."

Teapot Mat and Soap Pouch
The end of the school year means present for teachers and bus drivers. One evening, one down (I have only 4, at the end of the year only core teachers get a present.)

I found some Sugar 'n Cream in my stash and in a couple of hours (maybe three?), the Teapot Mat from Jo Sharp Knit 2. The soap pouch is very loosely based on the one from Spa Set Bath Mitt by Tamara Del Sonno, but I knit in stockinette and in the round. Add a nice bar of organic soap, and I am done.
