OK. So there was very little knitting up until yesterday when I spent the day with Great Gran, finished the socks (no pic, M is still sleeping), and worked 6 rows on the FBS. Just six. It is a LONG way across that thing.

**Knitting content ends here.**

I did solve my dough problem and managed to use the kool-aid.

They still smell good after they dry!

It’s an air-dry recipe modified to suit my needs. Interested? Here ya go:

Emily’s Kool-Aid Dough
4c. flour
1c. iodized salt
16 pkgs unsweetened kool-aid (divide up the recipe and make a bunch of different colors – double the kool-aid for a really good yellow)
1 3/4 c. warm water (approximately)
*mix dry ingredients in a bowl
*add water gradually!, stirring until everything is soft and crumbly
*knead it all around until it all comes together and the color is distributed *make it softer than you think you will require if you are storing it over night
*Wrap up tight until use
*Make stuff and let it dry for a couple of days – it gets nice and hard

We are also making (get ready for the pictures)

Sun-catcher people for the 7-8s.

The 11-12s are making wire sculptures that show some sort of action. Here is my other example.

The 9-10s are making boxes covered in laundry starch and tissue paper. Have y’all tried that? It is one of my favorite things to do. They will also make snap bracelets (which they can put in the boxes).

That’s it so far! The projects not shown here are: monoprints, table prints (pulled from a delightful mess the 3-6s will make on the table), 3-4s Mix Your Own Play Clay (also with kool-aid), and of course, macaroni necklaces. Today I have to make examples for the monoprints and the macaroni necklaces. And go to Winn-Dixie to buy out the kool-aid!
