The majority of the seeds I started are doing pretty well and ready to be planted next weekend! This tray is marigolds and forget-me-nots for the flower bed next to the short walkway up to our front door. The marigolds even have buds starting already!

It is a great pattern and fun to knit 🙂 The pattern is by Janette Budge, and the yarn is Jamieson & Smith yarn – if anyone is curious I can… Continue reading FO Friday – Variance Hat

Our kits arrived in short order, and we got into them! The top two yarns are Remix Light and Summer Sesame, the middle… Continue reading Yarn Tasting #2
