Hugely disappointing. This one’s buds were all dying off and I had to remove several leaves too. Hopefully with all the flower buds removed, it can put its energies into surviving. I’m thinking of setting any good leaves it still has and doing a stem set as well. Try to salvage it before all the... -

Another 2 day gap. That seems to be a good interval to see the noticeable differences. The flowers look less full than they did when I bought it. I wonder if I got it mixed up and it’s a different plant. But I have noticed with other ones that they bloom different in subsequent blooms. I know... -

I was looking up what to do with those Mandala yarns, and I saw where they said you can deconstruct the whole cake into its separate colors! Seems like a waste! But, on the other hand, if you think of it as buying a “set” of coordinating yarn colors, then separating them might be easier... -

I visited a friend yesterday and she gave me cuttings from a type of tradescantia that grows tiny little leaves. Hers is still in a water jar and it’s really going to town. When I got home I stripped the leaves off the lower stems and put them in water. In just 24 hours, tiny little roots have... -

I had to look back because I remembered you saying about the LBY Mandala yarn. Is it Meowth? Because I have that one! I had no idea it would transition from one color to the other like your sweater. Or did you cut the yarn and move to the next color when you wanted to change color in your... -

Here is how far I got on my shawl on Sunday night: Then on Monday I started a new WIP, but it’s knitting. I found a year long Knit a Long where you practice different cable patterns each month. Then in December you have 12 blocks to sew into a blanket. So yesterday I worked on the gauge: And... -

Yes!! I might be able to find a picture of it blooming before. I don’t know the correct term, but I call it a cabbage rose type. -

I’m excited for this one to bloom! I’ve been watching it grow its buds for days. I think I will try to do a daily progress report. -

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... -
