There are still a few more weeks of school (two and a half, to be exact) but I thought I’d get the teacher gift knitting out of the way. This year I was knitting for Bushboy’s classroom teacher as well as his fiddle club teacher. We chose a market bag for the classroom teacher (pattern: Monkey Market Bag) and fingerless mitts for the fiddle club teacher (pattern: Bainbridge Mitts). Bushboy was pleased with both, although he may add something small to each one.
Another reason to get these out of the way early? I just found out we have another family wedding to attend at the beginning of August!

Great teacher gifts, Kate. Very thoughtful of you and Bushboy.

I love the market bag! I have always wanted to knit one. And fingerless mitts are the perfect gift for a fiddler. Word is going to get out about the handknit gifts and teachers will be fighting to get Bushboy in their class.

Lucky teachers. I bet they can’t wait to have Bushboy in class if for no other reason than they get cool hand-knits at the end of the year from mom!
Are you doing another blanket for the wedding or something a little more manageable?
