Week 47 of YOP15

After Tuesday I will officially be on summer break. It is a good thing I work out at least 3 times a week, including lifting weights. The powers that be in my school district decided they needed to reassign my classroom to another teacher. My principal put in 4 requests to have them reconsider citing the fact that I was planning on retiring in a year, but each appeal was rejected.

A little known secret is that when teachers are reassigned to new classrooms they get no help moving any of their belongings. This means a teacher is responsible for moving all the items in the room. In addition I was department chair so I had a closet full of grade level materials to move. Needless to say it was exhausting.

KnittingPlans/Goals (Planes/Objetivos de tejido)

May goals Metas de mayo: Finish my 2025 Advent shorties (one sock is already complete). Finish a charity knit (almost ½ done with this one). Continue to work on the shawl and possibly cast on a new sweater pattern.

Progress: I cast on a new pair for my DD. I also finished the charity knit for the month. I plan on casting on another charity knit very soon. I did a row or two on the shawl and I keep working on my new sweater.

Sewing Plans/Goals Planes/Objetivos de costura

May goal Metas de mayo: May is known as Me Made May in the sewing world. I already usually try to wear at least one made by me object 4-5 times a week. I really have no grand ideas for this month. It may be a month where I just sew as the pattern takes me.

Progress: Used up the remainder of some fabric and made myself a sleeveless shirt.
