New project I started today! I spent the first 3 hours doing 3 swatches to get the gauge right. I frogged the first two swatches and used them to make the third swatch big enough for a blanket for my granddaughter’s Labubu doll. Having settled on a hook 2 sizes smaller than the pattern... -

It will be an afghan. Somewhere around here we have the one my husband’s grandmother made for him when he was little. This will have different colors, but be similar. :love I went to an estate sale one time, because the online photos had shown some Premier Anti Pilling yarn, among lots of... -

Oh my goodness!! Do you think you will still make a baby blanket out of these? Do you have a picture or link to the pattern? It looks like it has the potential to be amazing! So I have a granny square project I started 22 years ago. I recently got it out to work on. I just never wove in the... -

Today I got the last of the violets on their wicking reservoirs. And I also did some needed repotting. I remembered to take a before picture of the basement ones: They already had wicks, because when I travel, I fill that tray with water. That’s fine for temporary, but when I get back from a... -

And I agree with you about 5 in that basket. If they are too crowded, they won’t grow in their natural round shape. Not that they have to be round. I think most of them are pretty however they grow. -

They are nice big plants! AVs like to be a little under potted/root bound. So the pots they are in might be a good size. If they are still in the dirt they came from the store though, then they probably need fresher, lighter soil. According to the internet, growers who sell en masse to stores... -

Welcome! Funny you should mention non toxic. A week or so ago I found some dog throw up with unmistakable African violet leaves in it. Then close by I found two of my lower shelf violets knocked on the floor. Apparently my collie, who had refused to eat her breakfast that morning, had decided... -

Other than the violets, my plants are in 3 main areas. And 3 or 4 in separate spots that I didn’t take pictures of. Living room window. Those 2 big ones were at DH’s request. They have gotten a lot bigger than they were almost 5 years ago. We ended up getting a large fake monstera from Hobby... -

Aw, that’s too bad! Did you try grocery stores? Sometimes ones that have a floral department will have them. (My Kroger’s floral department does not though.) I have lots of other houseplants. I’ve always had lots of them or less of them at different times. Except in 2013 I was sick of watering... -

:gig Chicken math, of course! The leaf sprouts don’t count because there are so many, and they don’t all become actual plants. A lot of my set leaves have roots, but no sprouts yet. So none of those count! I have 42 African violets and 6 Primulinas. (Related to African violets in the gesneriad... -
