Help, my friends?

[roxy]

Hey, anyone out there have any information on, or knows anyone who worked with an organization called Teach America? BG is about to have an interview with them and I just wanted some information not from the organization itself.

Speaking of BG, she took up crochet as a hobby and imagine my surprise that she's actually having fun and making things--I fully expected that she'd end up stabbing her co-workers to death with her crochet hooks. Proud momma that I am, I took pictures!




Her first attempt--the Slice of Cheese!



And then a few weeks later, she made something you could do things with--behold, the Kindle Holder! Big things for a not very coordinated family!



She made a hat! With ears!! I am astound! Much surprise!

I'm trying to talk her into making me Dean... :D

Right? I was really shocked when she pulled that hat out! I mean, we Roses are not a people gifted in the decorative arts--I was all, "how did you *do* that?"

She swore she was not making a chibi Dean. Ha! She's lost already! *rubs hands*

Very nice!!

My middle child (not a child anymore, but you know heh) took up knitting a year or so ago. learned from watching stuff online and man, she's so good at it!

I should ask for a Sam, then we could watch them play together. :D

*squish*

Howdy. I have no Teach America info, but I had to run in to oooh over the crochet! I so want to learn! That hat is amazing. :D

BG learned from online too! It's really pretty amazing!

If you get a Sam and I get a Dean...naughty crochet stories, am I right? :D

You can learn everything on YouTube now! It's the best thing ever. (I AM snickering over the idea of you getting all snarled up in yarn, tho'. heeee.) xx

It's funny 'cause it's true!

If it's Teach for America, a few of my daughter's friends did it and it seemed like a positive experience for them.

I love that hat with the ears :)

hell yes.

they'd get their strings all tied up together, after a healthy bit of snarking over each other's fiber and cotton content.

then there would be much hot knitting/crochet sex. so hot that ... there might be sparks. burns. dowsing in water afterwards.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA!!!

No one's up but me and the dog, and I just scared the hell out of the dog!!

I'll have to double-check with her, but that's good to hear.

Right? It's so cute! :)

hee! Look at BG being all crafty! I used to want to learn to crochet when I was younger, but I just could never do more than a chain. Knitting always looked harder to me, but I was surprised when I picked that up with no problem.

That hat is too adorable! :)

Heeeee! Cute projects. :) And good luck to her with the job!

My one and only foray in the fabric arts netted a super long, fuzzy...worm. Yarn and needles are not for me!

I hope this new job, if she gets it, is what she wants. *worries*
