Knit with 100% Alpaca Yarn hand dyed by Liz, the color is Paisley.
I am sneaking in a little daytime knitting, and finished this quickly.
but the gray yarn I wanted to use next was frayed every 3 or 4 feet,
so I will have to purchase some new gray yarn to continue on this.
So I started another "Simple Yet Effective Cowl"
Knit with 100% Alpaca Yarn hand dyed by Liz, the color is Dawn's Early Light.
I had this yarn in my stash and this cowl only takes a few days to knit.
I am going to try to make a trip to the farm on saturday, I am sure they will have gray yarn.
Cut the 2" off the bottom of the celery bunch,
place in a small dish of water, and keep in a sunny spot.
After a few days, you should see small leaves start to form.
Once roots start to form, you can transfer it to a pot with soil.
So far, so good!
I always have green onions growing in the house and I can't tell you how many times I reach for them.
Cut off the root end of the green onion, leaving 1" of the white bulb attached.
Make sure the root is buried in a well drained pot filled with potting soil.
Keep soil moist and place in a sunny spot.
You can harvest new leaves as needed and they will continue to grow.
I have had this plant for years, at times, I have to cut them because the are so tall and I freeze them.
I have been longing for purple tulips for a long time and looking everywhere for them.
The hubs finally found them in our food store and brought home a bouquet.
gave them each a fresh cut at the bottom of the stem,
and pushed a straight pin though the stem, right at the base of the flower.
This is what I always do and the flowers stand up straight, but not this time.
I "googled" it and it says to also add a penny, that I did not do, I think it may be too late.
- next time -
I washed and put away all of my winter scarves,
and washed and hung my spring scarves and sweaters by the front door.
Rain today and I am actually excited to have a lazy rain day!

I'm going to be spending a few days getting ready for spring too -- nt that it feels that near but I'm getting itchy for it. I love your purples -- the yarn on the cowl, the tulips, your pretty scarves. And that celery is intriguing me. Not quite sure how to do that but it's a great idea.
Debbie, I made that potato soup you posted a while back. So good! We really enjoyed it and have some left for tomorrow! Yay! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Love your cowls. Throw in an ice cube I use to work in a florist we used to do this off and on to keep them up right.
We are getting rain but it is 35 degrees so it is raw and threating to freeze. So I did some laundry and now I am tucked in my craft room listening to music.

I Do the exact same thing with my winter and spring/summer scarves!--- and its time. Your knitting is beautiful and I can't wait to try to grow celery!! 😊 . The Tulips are so pretty! 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷
you gave me a wonderful idea. I often need green onions and never have any in the frig. ... I'll just grow my own. Thanks for the tip.
Your knitting looks good.
Shame about the purple tulips, they are such a lovely colour.
I hope you have been enjoying your lazy rain day :)
All the best Jan

I have grown scallions, but didn't know that I could do the same with celery, so thanks for the tip, Debbie, and good luck with yours. The colors in the completed cowl are lovely and I really liked seeing all of your colorful scraves.
Also, I never had luck with tulips standing up and roses were also a problem. Maybe it's why I switched to carnations?
I'm impressed with your knitting. I never learned to knit. I am fascinated with the green onions growing in your pots and celery. I want to try growing celery. What do you use for the green onions ?
I’ve grown green onions outside in a trough, but lately they’ve not looking very healthy. All your plants looks healthy and wonderful. Wow! I never thought to grow celery like that too.
Hello,
Your knitting projects are pretty. I have never tried to grow celery I have tried growing the romaine lettuce the same way. Your tulips are lovely. You are prepared with your spring scarfs and sweaters. e had a lot of rain yesterday. Take care, enjoy your day!
cut off the root end of a green onion, leaving about an inch of the white bulb attached, and plant it in a pot filled with well-draining potting soil, ensuring the root end is buried in the soil; keep the soil moist and place the pot in a sunny location to encourage new growth; you can harvest the green onions by cutting the leaves as needed, allowing the plant to continue growing from the base.
kay...i know you have a blog but when i click on your picture it does not come up. can you help a girl out?!?!
I just love the colour of those Tulips!
Her blog is called musings. Dee love,love your home and how you decorate with such style.
I'll try the celery thing... grow my own celery :-)) that's it. I use it a lot in the kitchen.
Your knitting is very beautiful, as are your tulips.
Best wishes from Viola
such pretty colors for your cowls, that is such a bummer about the gray yarn it is so pretty. I haven't tried doing this with my celery, I may have to give that a try :) I wonder if my cats would try to eat either one. Your flowers are so pretty even if they are drooping a bit, you know I did hear something about using a penny for flowers but couldn't remember what they said it did to help. Your pretty scarves make for accent by your front door, nice to have a collection handy to pick from when going out :)
Putting away your scarves is a definite sign of spring, but it made me wonder, way is a scarf a scarf, and why is the plural scarves and not scarfs? 🤔
