Lions and students and knitting oh my!

I havent been on MSSU's campus since last spring when I took students for Foreign Language Field Day. Today I took 18 students with me, its been cold so walking between buildings was quite miserable. I walked through the library, and met this fellow, hes a real stuffed Lion. He looks mad.

They are good kids, my Spanish students... really they are. Just a little distracted though.

I found a lovely pattern for knitting a slouchy hat on Ravelry. I love this site, so many patterns in one place with pictures and comments from other people that have made them. Here is a link for the pattern. Made one already in purple, this gray one is for my little sister Amanda.
