I have been teaching a bit this summer along with caring for kids, my own son and nieces and nephews. As summer draws to a close, I will miss them all when they go back to school, but happy to have some of my time back. I taught a private weaving lesson, an continental knitting lesson and a stripes and floats scarf in May. June was a little quieter on the teaching front, but I had a beginner rigid heddle and a a second private weaving lesson in July.
Before school starts, though, we have a family vacation planned to Savannah and Tybee Island in Georgia. My great-uncle is turning 80 in early August and lives in Savannah. We will visit while we are there, so I thought a warm pair of slippers would make a great gift. I think I will use three colors. A medium brown for the outer sole, a light brown for the upper, and a a paprika for the inner sole to add a little “wow” to them. My plan it to knit them this week and felt them to custom fit after we arrive.
