Partly Saturday and partly yesterday, I dug the holes for my tomatoes. During the process, I found three volunteers from last year's rotten tomatoes that fell from the vine before I could pick them.
Today I almost did nothing but the yarn sampler. Over 100 minis in the last 24 hours. Which sounds good, until you realize that there are 500 minis in the worsted side. I have to do the exact same feverish pace all week to finish before Matt gets here.
WIP Wednesday tomorrow: Kwalla socks, a storied life.

Tomato Tuesday
This afternoon, I replanted a plant (some kind of oregano) that was drying out too quickly into a shadier spot. I replanted it deeper, and put in hydration bottles (water bottles filled with tap water and rapidly plunged upside down into the dirt).
I have watered my tomatoes, and the first yellow flowers are starting to bloom. It's almost worth having tomatoes just for the hopefulness of those yellow flowers.

Hi. Been a while.
I keep knitting when I have time. I've done 6 socks now, of which 2 are pairs. Working on another 3, one of them will match one of those already done, and the other two are 2 at a time and will match each other.
Learned to spin. Pretty proud of my efforts; once plied, the yarn is really nice and I would knit with it. My first effort is about a worsted weight plied on itself. My second effort was just to see how thin I could spin. Yesterday morning I plied it into a Navajo ply and it turned into a very even fingering-weight purple yarn.
Can't figure out how to post pictures right now. Hopefully I will be able to in future posts. It may just be an issue on my tablet.
Coming on Tomato Tuesday: picking the spot and digging the holes.
