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.
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.
