The color work portion of my Norsk Cloak is now complete, and I’ve started work on the bottom ribbing. Then there’s some steeking to be done and some ribbed bands, but it should be all downhill from hill.
I finished up Midsummer Night’s Dream for school prep for next year. I love this version. I laughed until there were tears. The kids are going to love it, as we memorize actual passages using the reference How to Teach Your Child Shakespeare. I did think while reading the last chapter, that I will really struggle reading that one aloud because several characters from various story lines going on are all coming together and interjecting in each other’s conversations. It’s a hysterical scene, that I think they will only understand if they act it out. So I’m currently brainstorming ways that can be done, since there isn’t a local theater that is doing this one where we can go see it. I really hope the kids like it.

April 22, 2015 at 8:39 pmSteeking?? Yikes! I will live vicariously through you on that particular skill. 🙂 I have fond memories of homeschooling and I am pretty sure our 3 family home school group acted that very one out in my friend’s living room. (3 families–with a total of 12 children-age high-school down to toddler) My years homeschooling my children are my happiest mom years!

Your colourwork looks gorgeous, but I too am horrified at the thought of steeking! Can’t wait to see the finished article.
