My time so far...

 I've done a million things since I've been here...and yet at times it feels like less. 

Quick recap:

July 14th-I moved out of my apartment

July 19th- I flew to Guatemala

July 28th- First day of work at the new school

August 10th- First day of school for students

August 17th- First Stitch and Bitch with a new friend every Tuesday (not a new friend every Tuesday, but a new friend that I meet with every Tuesday)


August 23rd-Virtual learning starts

September 3rd-5th- Spent the weekend in Antigua

September 15th- Guatemalan Independence day

September 17th- I meet another new friend who wants to learn knitting

And now we're all caught up!

Of course, I've done a lot in between. I found a few places to buy yarn, looked up some craft stores for other projects, invested in some beautiful textiles, and started taking a Waldorf education certification course.

Guatemala is beautiful and I've made new friends! Hopefully I won't be too exhausted when I go back in person next week and I'll be able to keep posting.

The Sweaters of Murder, She Wrote Episode: 11.20

 I've decided to do a series of posts on the sweaters of Murder, She Wrote. I've watched every episode at least once over the years, and there are some fantastic sweaters in this show! Some you can find a similar pattern for, so if I can I will share it. Please note I am not very good at capturing all the sweaters just yet, so the picture quality is not going to be great. I had the idea for this while watching season 11, episode 20 "Another killing in Cork". So we will start there. Each post will give a spoiler-free synopsis of the episode, followed by a short review, and then sweaters! In this episode, we see Jessica traveling to Cork to visit some old friends. She stays in their big castle-like Bed and Breakfast with a host of "queer" characters (I use the words that are used in the show itself). Turns out there's a land dispute the landlord is involved in. People end up dead, of course, since this is a murder show, after all. In true Jessica Fletcher ...

What's on the needles? February 2022

As promised here's a quick roundup of projects I'm currently working on:   First up, the waffle pullover! It's from a vintage pattern, my second attempt at using one. I put it aside when I had a dream about a sweater, which happens to be my next project: an Irish wool striped pullover Finally, I have a mitered square blanket I'm working on in between things, not that I've had time in a few weeks. It's using cotton from right here in Guatemala! Well most of it. I had a few scraps of cotton that I brought with me from the US.
