Proud Day

Yesterday was Dr. Seuss's birthday! Happy 103rd birthday! YEAH! Of course I dressed up for the occasion. Two teachers were Thing 1 and Thing 2. We then made up Thing 3 so I could join in the fun! It was a ball! I had my hair in a gold mohawk and the kids loved it! Then in the afternoon, we celebrated Chinese New Year! It was great! The parade was very successful.

Today I for the first time wound a ball of yarn! This is something that I have been very challenged at. Here it is:

OK, so it looks more like a squashed tomato that a ball, but that's the best I've ever done! Next to it is a hank of yarn that I haven't wound yet. This is the stuff that I spun. It's been washed and now it's ready to knit with. I chose a very simple scarf pattern to try it out. This is the first time I've knit with my own spun yarn. Here part of the scarf:

I feel so proud of it! I made the whole thing from start to finish!!! The scarf came out pretty cute and I'm going to take it to the March guild meeting. I want to show it at show and tell, but also because it's green, I can have it in the March picture for the guild's 2008 calender!!! YEAH!!! I'm on cloud 9 right now. It's so simple, just a scarf, but I feel so good about it! ^_^

As for the rest of today, I'm not sure what we are doing. My friend already stopped by to pick up a few things that she wanted to borrow, and now that I finished my scarf I'm not sure what I will do. Maybe I'll spin some more yarn! That sounds like a good idea! ^_^
