So, Weeks 16 through 30 were, um, busy. Between trying to finish up student teaching and all the involved paperwork (including the never-ending portfolio), trying to find a job for this fall, volunteering at summer school, and the Vacation of Awesome, it's been a fairly breathless summer.
I found time to complete another Umbrous shawl, however, which ... just ... Crystal writes amazing patterns. Super easy to follow, scalable, and a beautiful end project. Love.
Moving backwards a bit, it's sort of been the Year of the Shawl for me. Umbrous was #3 for the year and I've got another 2 that I plan to finish before the end of August. I also made Annis in red silk as a host-teacher thank you gift and Taygete for my MIL this spring.
I also completed a few small items, including a funky, bright-blue ear flap hat and a felted Alluvia bag, both for me. Which means, of the projects posted in this entry, I'm running a 3:2 ratio of selfish knitting to gift knitting. (Still hoping to come out at least 2:1 by year's end.)

These are ALL gorgeous. Plus, I don't think that ratio is valid, when you consider the number of stitches and size of yarn. :)
