Knitting Class

Peggy Sue had her first knitting class at school today.

She was rather surprised when she sat down at her desk to find a ball of wool and some knitting needles...

...and was rather worried about what she was getting herself into.

Fortunately for the first lesson the teacher cast on the stitches as she is just teaching them the fundamentals of garter stitch to start with.

Peggy Sue was rather relieved and thinks she can manage knitting plain rows.

She works hard at it

She sticks the needle into the loop on the other needle, 

..and before she knows it she has a few rows!

She can't wait to get home to tell Little Owen that she is learning how to knit!

A New Day, A New Term!

Fortunately it seems that the school has been reopened, at least for the Autumn term....

The girls stare at the basket of wool...with a slightly glazed expression on their faces....

Trying to hide her exasperation Miss Olivia Ottavia explains....

Her enthusiasm knows no bounds though!

Although the girls have yet to catch it early in the day on their first day back at school.

Peggy Sue is always optimistic.

To be continued....

School Closing

Unfortunately the initial ideas and partnership for this blog never came to fruition due to changes in circumstances and as such I ended up on my own.  I think it is probably time to close this blog down, and will have a good think about it over the next few days.  I have invested in various props to make this work and don't want them to go to 'waste' as I did spend quite a bit in obtaining them but in reality I just can't keep so many blogs going on my own along side 'real life'.  Just quite what to do I am unsure.  Possibly just keep it going as a 'Music School' is one idea.
