Mrs. Beaumont's Class (with some knitting thrown in)

Here is your bonus question for the week of Nov. 27. The response to this question will be due on Sat., Dec. 2, by noon.

List two reasons why you think writing is difficult for you sometimes.

I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. The weather was great. Christmas will be here before we know it!

This week's bonus question is....

Think about your best holiday celebration ever. Write an essay to tell about this celebration and why it was your favorite.

This question, since it requires actual writing, will be worth more points. Possibly 10. This will be due ON PAPER on Tues, Nov. 28, our first day back after Thanksgiving.

In knitting news, I had to give up the Jaywalker socks. I turned the heel on the first one and tried to try it on. I really did not fit. I couldn't get the leg up past my heel. This is the first time I've ever had to worry about gauge and measuring my foot. Instead of casting on 76 stitches, I'm going to cast on 92, which adds about 2 inches around my instep.

I have one more stripe to do on the Cleveland Browns scarf. I hope to finish that today.

I have done absolutely nothing on my Lady Eleanor. I'll post pix tomorrow.

The bonus question for the week of Nov 13 is a little early, but....
Josh M. and I were discussing yesterday how we pronounced certain words and what kind of accent each of us had. I told him about an internet quiz I had taken about the same thing. Here's the link to it:

Take it and email me the results. Tell me what kind of accent you have.

My accent was about 80% Midland.

Knitting Club had an awesome turnout today. Everyone has been moving right along on their scarves. Katie has been a knitting machine and is on her 5th (I think) scarf in just a couple of weeks.


Here is another one of her creations that Michael is so kind enough to model for us.



Chelsie's scarf is turning out great, too. I LOVE the colors of the yarn she chose.

I'll post pix of the other knitters later.

This week's bonus question for the week of Nov 6 for all my English classes is...

Tell about a time that you did something that took a lot of nerve, a time when you didn't follow the crowd.

Answers to this question should be posted by Sat. Nov 11 at 12 noon.
