Maybe Once Maybe Twice

A co-worker gave me a bag of yarn for the Cat Blanket Project, but this proved a mixed blessing when the yarn was so fine, it took four strands to make soft fabric. I may be knitting with this yarn FOREVER.

Today, seventeen new blankets went out to Georg's favorite shelter.

I'm no better at crocheting than knitting - at which, you may recall, I am terrible - but it occurred to me I might stitch up scarves for the men's shelter, though not the shelter itself. It is a building and does not wear scarves, silly.

Even so, it's not all glamor being me! This weekend, I smashed my thumbnail below the nail line, necessitating the cutting of my nails. TRAUMA! I also steamed the crap out of my thumb, during which moment my one thought was, "Shit, I will NEVER do this to an entire lobster!"

Using what we have on hand to learn more about what we'd like to do, we planted a sprouted sweet potato to find out how the plant grows, probably for next year's planting. First thing: plant sweet potatoes after the thaw. Oops. Second: plant it in crappy soil and ignore it a lot. Oops. Guess I should quit asking it, "Who's a pretty sweet potato? Who? Who?"
