Today was a ProD day and we’ve been informed that going forward this year, all will be done from home. We have to listen to dumb seminars, but at least I get to be comfy and cozy at home!
One of the things I love most about ProD days is that I can get a quick run in before work. This morning I could feel my knee so I just did 3km, but that’s three closer to Rapid City! I also did my 40 sec plank on right, left and centre this evening. I should have worked out or done yoga, but it just didn’t happen.
I unfortunately didn’t learn anything new from my ProD today:(. I did get the situpons done for the kids though. These are newspapers in ziploc bags that the kids sit on when we are doing a lesson outside. I hope they work well!
However, my teaching buddy and I went for a lovely rainy walk once the sessions were over. We walked for about an hour and a half and then had ice cream. I should have ordered first as I would have gotten my usual one scoop, but I was influenced by Liane and got a flight. Way too much ice cream for me, but it was yummy! We sat outside to enjoy it and by the end, I felt like I was drooling because my lips and mouth were so frozen and I was definitely shivering.
Knitting:
The exciting news is that I finished my test knit for U and I Knit (Josee Paquin) last night. I love her patterns and this one is no different. It knit up super fast and is so lovely and soft and squishy!! It’s the Alexis Vest and you should look out for the pattern coming soon!
My new knitting books came today and I am super excited to start SPY21 with a pair of I Scream socks from Operation Sock Drawer. All 20 patterns in this book seem amazing and I want to make them all! I couldn’t start tonight as I washed the red to see how bad it was going to bleed. Just a tiny bit pink so I put vinegar in the water and am waiting for it to dry so I can cast on!!!
I have been working on an entrelac scarf tonight and am loving what it is looking like! I have always wanted to try entrelac and once you get the pattern, it’s not tough:)
Well I’m suddenly very tired and so think I am off to bed.
Have fun!

sounds like a productive day. While having the professional development at home is good on one side, the nice thing about those day is also the meeting of the minds with your coworkers which you would be missing, but you can tune it out and do other things I lot easier at home.
We haven’t been able to meet since COVID started so being allowed to stay home is a great improvement over being sequestered in my classroom
ok.. that is true! I’d rather watch boring videos at home than in my classroom where I’d be concerned that someone would walk by and notice that I’m not watching the boring training video 🙂
Exactly!
I love when you share you knitting projects. I m referring to the next days post. The knitting you do is so lovely!
Oh thank you!
Busy day! Glad you could do your seminars from home, and that you got to go for a good walk with your friend. Also, any day that new knitting books show up is a good day!
Oh I’m loving these books!
Best thing, you can knit while you listen to the admin drone on, and throw a skein of yarn when frustrated!
Exactly!
I can’t wait to dig into that sock book either
