Knitting and other Creative Endeavors

[Freaky Tiki]

I just saw this thread and it reminded of me of yesterday.

I graduate this year, Sunday actually, but yesterday was seniors' last day of school.

Anyway, at the school there is a substitute teacher who is known for always knitting. She'll give the teachers agenda for the teaching plan, then go to knitting. People either love her or hate her. I used to be pretty annoyed with her, but one day me and some classmates gave her so much crap, and I actually formed a very deep respect for her.

Now whenever I see her, I hug her. Everytime, if I saw her in the hallway I hugged her, she actually came to a play I was in, and I hugged her and spun her around. I think she is one of the coolest ladies ever.

Anyway...yesterday after 2nd period I got called down to the office along with a bunch of other senior students. Apparently this sub teacher knits beanies (hats not animals) for senior students. And I got one! So far, its by far my favorite senior year gift. Money is all well and good, but a hat knitted by a really cool old lady has, by far, a lot more meaning.

Sorry for the long, and maybe pointless post, but I was just so excited about the thing
