Knitting Away!

Remember this knitting project? I blogged about it here over a year ago! Sigh!

In a prior post, I mentioned how I finally figured out how to work a German Short row. OMG, I don't understand why I couldn't figure it out earlier. Easy peazy! I'm telling you, Covid 19 kicked my butt .... my brain did not seem to work properly. But, I think my brain is back on track! lol

Voila! The pattern is called No Frills Sweater by PetiteKnit. You can find it here on Ravelry

I have not blocked it. I want Pumpkin to try it on to see if she likes the length and if the sleeves are fine. I had to remove over 2 inches from the body length. OMG, it was so long. They called for a length of 19 3/4"! I found that much too long. It is "suppose" to be a camping sweater!

Hope you are all well. Thanks for stopping by! Catch you all later! Cheers!

Gardening!

Indoor that is. My next door neighbour gave me his AeroGarden - he obtained it early this year. He said it wasn't his thing ... his exact words, "I'm scared of it". Wow, sure I'll take it.

I cleaned it out and ordered the Italian Herb Garden kit. I thought I'd start with something simple, herbs.

Nine day's later, this is what the seedlings look like.

If you enjoy gardening, it's a neat gadget. It has an app that lets you know when to fertilized and when the water is low. I programmed the light to be on from 4am to 7pm. That schedule works for me.

He had started some plants back in January that were not doing so well. So, scrawny! I don't know if they'll make it. I decided to plant those outside, in a container. What do I have to loose? I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for stopping by! Cheers!
