Sunshine on the water makes me happy.
Today is July 1. This means that yesterday was the last day of June. The last day of any month during a "term" for the HPKCHC (Harry Potter Knitting/Crochet House Cup) is always Crazy Day for me as I try to finish up projects and post them to the classes. I used to finish things and post/turn them in right away. But, lately, I have been going for more yardage and therefore bonus points. This means I keep projects until the last minute while thinking, is there something more I can make that would also fit in this class?
Anyway, since I am knitting hats for charity this year for the Eastside Knitters Guild, many of my class turn ins are hats. I like to keep a baby hat on my knitting needles, as well as one on the hook. They are usually great social knitting, small, and good to take if I need to wait in a line somewhere (hence the hat I was knitting at the bike shop the other day).
So here are a few of the hats that I finished up in the last days of the month for the Click for Babies charity.
These are crochet and use the Basic Baby Beanie pattern by Melissa Hall.
The hat that I was knitting at the bike shop turned into this Jester hat, that I designed myself.

Pookie hasn't sent me a good paragraph to post, but we have been emailing back and forth in short bursts, so I will put some of these together to let you know what he is doing.
Me: How many people in your class are from Princeton, and how many from other schools, and which other schools? Have you made any new friends? Are you getting to talk to any natives?
Pookie:
差不多半的我的同学们是普大的学生。我交了很多新朋友，我也常常跟当地人谈话。
My class is about half Princeton students, and yeah I've made a bunch of new friends. And yeah I often talk with the locals.
Me: Happy Birthday, (and then I told him a story about a temp job I did at a French language school in the area where I got to say "Bon Weekend" to all of the students)
Pookie:
Today
we went to the Great Wall (there are group excursions haha), it was
super fun but incredibly hot for a while, and then it rained haha.
对，已经是我的生日！谢谢！
你是对，法文俞我们的周末那个词。
我们今天去了长城，很好玩儿但是本来特别热，后来就下起雨来了。
Yeah, it's already my birthday, thanks!
And you're right, I don't know why French had to steal our word.
我们回来的时候我们的公共汽车还出问题所以我和三个男生下去了，推了汽车呢！
ok, I swiped this photo from some friend of his on facebook as he can't upload photos while in China, so apologies to her for the theft of the photo.
Peace,
