It grows! About 1.5 more inches to go, then I can start the hood extension.

Our family rents the same ridiculous AirBnb every holiday they visit, so I had to take the Selfie Bathroom for a spin

Have a kid under the age of 10? Big shout out to the game Tock Tock Woodman. I have no idea if it's even still in print, but it's a wonderfully easy game to pick up.

Also fun if you're at a gathering of tipsy friends who would love to knock stuff over.

Heating pads are so easy to make and have been my #1 way of cutting down on student visits to the nurse. Rice, a sock and some soft fabric - That's all it takes to make a cuddly little tool that gives both physical and mental comfort.

I couldn't find a knit pattern for a hood/balaclava that 1. worked with my materials and 2. I was happy with, so I'm using the measurements of Paton's Haute Hood to cobble something together.

Should be fun 🧶

Doing a project with my classes that includes digital photography, so we're using these nifty cameras that don't have a display.

You'd think I handed them a stone tablet on which to carve the image

You ever just get the desire to match your yarn to your book covers? 💙📚🧶

"A witty modern folktale that touches on themes of capitalism, environmentalism, labor rights, and being a nice person"

When the library comes through, boy does it really come through! 💙📚

Gotta say, this was delightful from start to finish.

I went in without a big desire for gossip about specific girls, and Im glad she didnt focus on that, but I'm so happy to actually have an explanation for who stole Bre's granola bars! Most unexpected anecdote in here #antm

About once a month, I screenshot this same yarn with the thought "I'll buy this to knit a sweater soon, I'm almost ready."

According to my camera roll, I have not been ready in over a year 🧶

My #ShowMeYourKnits horror story is this yellow hat that was originally for my daughter. One accidental wash cycle later, and it has become a toy for Mr Bear here. 🧶

It's been a hot minute - really feeling like I should pick up my Eat the Rich knitting again. 🧶

Admin really thought they were doing us a favor by handing these out for classroom use.

A Macrolepiota? Cute little parasol mushroom from today's walk. 🍄

Finished, but sooooo unstructured.

This yarn + this sizing = humongous mess

I'll be trying again with a slightly decreased cast on and smaller needles. I can at least enjoy this hat, but if others are going to be gifted a knit, it needs to have more shape to it.

Hefty, I'm BEGGING you, bring back these limited edition Halloween costumes! My toddler wants to be a garbage collector for Halloween and I want to dress them in more than just a reflective vest.

Any guesses about what's getting featured on my current 🧶 WIP?

That feeling when you've already lesson planned so hard that your prep period becomes a bit more enjoyable. 🧶

#GBBO, here I come.

Toddler wanted an elephant birthday cake? Done! Not as colorful as last year's butterfly, but at least this one isn't just banana bread covered in cream cheese. Everyone is happier now that the kid can eat sugar.

So! Ugly!

It's actually worthy of a public bathroom selfie.

"Auggie & Me" by RJ Palacio

Everyone reads "Wonder." When you're done, have kids read The Julian Chapter.

"The Bird King" by G Willow Wilson

An historical fantasy about the last days of the Islamic sultanate in Spain. It's a period of history that we never discuss in school, this is going to spark curiosity.
