Wow, June. Wow. About a month ago I couldn't wait for this week - now, not so much. It's my last week at school - physicals were last night. So the next 3 days are all paperwork, cleaning, and moving. I found out yesterday that my basketball training room has to be empty by Friday. Ha. I would love to know exactly where they expect me to put everything. As it is, it's crazy enough putting everything into the inner office to attempt to stem theft over the summer. 
So that was my view last Saturday afternoon. My baseball team warming up for the Regional semis. A game that was originally scheduled for Thursday, but was rained out. Twice. What a game. 12 innings. Lost. Walk off homerun. Heartbreak. Due to the length, and use of all 3 decent pitchers, it probably would have been really hard to beat the team (that won 12-0 in 6 innings) we would have had to face on Sunday, but you never know.It's been a weird spring like that - my boys track team imploded last week at regionals. The 2 relay teams that were supposed to win States didn't make it out (DQ'd). One boy got mono and couldn't do anything, one is still fighting appendicitis - he's going to States though, and the State champ in discus broke his throwing hand (the one that his college scholarship is based on) punching something a wall (I think) after his girlfriend broke up with him. Funny how things can all go wrong at once.
Anyway, Monday sees me working at the hospital. I'll try not to complain too much (but working in-patient when I'm an ATC is really stupid and I'm not happy about it). It is only for 5 weeks, then it's a week off before the family vacay to Cape Cod - I've heard reports that my nephew is already very excited - and then it's back to school to get ready for football. So I'm sure it'll all fly by and before we know it, I'll be complaining about whiny high schoolers again.
Onto the knitting type stuff. Sunday was the last day to turn things in for May projects in the House Cup. I managed to get something done for every class. The blanket was done in record time (finished it up on Thursday).
Pretty darn cute if you ask me. I did get a little tired of working on it because it was all blanket all week, but so glad to have it done. Maddie also likes it alot.
It's one of her new favorite sleeping spots. Never mind that there are 4 other blankets draped over various pieces of furniture in that same room.
I got this hat done as well. It's not my favorite, but it'll do. Kinda hard to see the pattern in that pic, sorry about that.
That's the progress on the fronts of the sweater. It seems to be going slower than the back did - I think because the initial burn to knit this has flickered out. Still love it - just don't have that crazy urge to work on it 24/7.
Because I finished up all the HP stuff early - I let myself spin this weekend. As you can see by the very full bobbins. I'm going to work on plying it up this weekend. It's gonna take forever. But it'll be very pretty laceweight - my first ever handspun lace weight! Gotta get myself worked up for it.So with a new month comes new assignments for the House Cup. Not so in love with them this month. It's really hard to fit things that I wanted to get knitted into the assignments - and the "profs" are being very particular.The one that I do love is Defense Against the Dark Arts. This month is the study of Crucio - an Unforgiveable Curse, it causes excruciating pain - a form of torture. So the assignment is to work on a project that isn't finished due to the pain it causes you. Therefore, I will finally be finishing the Jewelled Steps socks. Yeah, from last March!
That's the start of the second sock. And the curse is continuing. The book knocked over a can of soda, I used the wrong needles to start and had to rip and re-start. Very cursed socks. Hopefully it gets better from here on out. 
Kaylee is also getting big, as you can see. It was a very nice little parade - only one marching band, which I thought odd. But there were plenty of lollipops - and that was all that mattered.
It's going quickly, which is good, but mostly due to the fact that I didn't do much else but work on it on Monday. This will actually end up pulling triple duty - HC, baby blanket contest at 
The book scarf. In all of it's double knitted coolness. Even if you think I live in a realm beyond Dorkdom, you need to see the coolness in this technique. Both sides get knit at the same time, on the same needle, no sewing the 2 pieces together. Seriously cool. And if you don't think so, please don't leave a comment telling me so - I'm enjoying my new trick. I didn't manage to get a decent picture of the hat I finished. I'll do that some other time.
