but I was earlier. That is about all the humor I have right now though, so enjoy it while it lasts. I have been working on getting the garden going the past few days. Saturday I spent shopping for supplies, yesterday I spent building the box and discussing with my neighbor some ideas, today I hauled bag after bag (including a 3.8cu foot one) all by myself and mixed them all and filled our raised bed number one. Shoot I had a fancy name for it and I forgot. I will remember it and post a picture of it. I have some pics but I need to get them uploaded, and I will post a more detailed update as well.
My Grandpa is very ill and was moved to hospice today. My Mom & sister are flying across country right now trying to get to him before he passes. I am positively devastated. I love him so very much and can't imagine how my Grandma must feel to be losing the love of her life who she has been married to for 65 years. I wish I was in Florida with them right now. I am trying to stay busy here instead with manual labor hoping the physical ache can take away some of the heartache I feel.

The soaker is a hybrid ribby minus the gusset on BBR "Lakeside". I dyed that yarn with a whole bunch of leftover dyes and ended up loving it sooo much. I have a bit more of this colorway, but I am not sure what I want to use it for. The pants are some Cascade Eco that I got in the Magic Yarn Ball Swap from Tami. I lurve it sooooo much! My own pattern, which was inteneded to have flared cuffs, but DH thinks they look funny so he picked a seed stitch cuff. I was waffling anyhow since I wanted to make them a bit longer than Scarlett needs now so they would last all winter. I have a ton of this left, so I think I will be making some shorts for her next summer too. The colors are a little off in the picture. The blue is more aqua, not as teal as in the picture. These are the longest inseam I have knit and I was pretty surprised at how fast they went. Almost 10 inches!
What kind of knitting needles are you?
You are interchangeable.Fun, free, and into everything, you've got every eventuality covered and every opportunity just has to be taken. Every fiber is wonderful, and every day is a new beginning. You are good at so many things, it's amazing, but you can easily lose your place and forget to show up. They have row counters for people like you!
