Antique Week in New Hampshire

We're back from the New Hampshire show. I'm tired.
saw some very interesting 19th c. knitted doll socks. The photo was taken with my phone so a bit blurry.

And I purchased these 19th c. knitted doll mittens

detail

So you made it through the whole post, congrats

This group of students was all above average. It's taken me a bit of time to post because the truth is I am a bit sad that I won't be teaching at MICA in the fall. It isn't all bad news though. The course material construction will be offered again in the spring 2011, and I will be there trying to inspire another group. Wow I love teaching!!!
