We’re on the second, and final, week of the String Theory camp. Two days ago was our messy day, again, and it’s interesting to see how the class ran last time vs. this time. While the age range of the last camp and this camp are the same, the average age of the kids is wildly different. It might also help this time I’m more comfortable in the space.
I also can’t believe it’s our last day!
One of the campers in the class yesterday proudly came in showing off her fingerless glove. For a moment, I thought she’d snuck her project home to work on. Apparently she had went to the craft store and bought a needle and yarn so she could practice
at home – and had been making more progress at home after she left for the camp. She was so proud and excited to show me. Take a look!
Most students are also done with their project bags… I’m a little bit nervous about filling the time on our last day. Oh, well. It’s great that they got so much done.
These next five weeks are going to be doozies. I’m leaving in just over a week for a cruise with my family (a sort of last-hurrah before my younger siblings are all sucked into their respective graduate and undergraduate studies). It will be a little bit of a working vacation for me – in addition to getting ready for Rhinebeck in October, I have 4 (count them), 4! designs due by mid-September. It’s a good problem to have, but I’m going to be working my hands off. Luckily, two of them are knit, and the other two are crochet, so I’m hoping to save my hands.
Speaking of Rhinebeck – are you planning on going? I’ve got a variety of classes I’m offering: everything from my very favorite Ooops class to much more advanced classes. You should check them out!
