Kiss My Knits!

Pardon my French, but…

HOLY CRAP. It’s a post-Christmas miracle! This is the proposal from my kid’s music teacher. She was asking for enough xylophones for her music room for all the students to use in a given class period. The Browncoats and friends raised about $800 smackers for that proposal, out of a needed $4000+. I genuinely thought there was absolutely no way the proposal would be funded. But there it sits, only $95 short of its goal with only nine days left to go.

WHAT HAPPENED? Did Bill Gates take up the marimba? Did the ghost of Lionel Hampton smile down upon Charlotte? Did some eccentric billionaire watch Em’s production of the Music Man and remember the school in his will?

I have no idea… but wow. Just wow.

    Holy DOUBLE crap.

    I’m guessing it would be pretty pointless to knit you a Jayne hat since you’re such a fantastic knitter, but please do e-mail me your address so I can at least send you something. 🙂

    I just got a very sweet note from Emily’s music teacher thanking me for my contribution. One of my favorite music grad students at the theater I worked at in college was a ragtime xylophone player, so I think all these xylophones will be excellent.

    Emily’s music teacher is very nice. She’s young and enthusiastic, so the world hasn’t crushed her spirit yet. Now she’s going to be in a room full of xylophones and eight year olds all day. Maybe I’ll chip in an extra five bucks for a jumbo bottle of aspirin. 🙂

    Yeah, I don’t need a hat, but stitch markers are fun!
