HOT WATER BOTTLE SWEATER

 My roses, ferns and giant hosta are at their peak right now.  We have no burnt leaves, no fungus from too much rain, and the blooms are opening in unison.   

I used to think roses were too fussy but Knock Out varieties around here have changed my views. 

 We had wonderful lettuce wraps on Saturday night.

Chicken, chives, red peppers, water chestnuts and slivered almonds.  

 I learned some things about Miss Pie.  Okay call me crazy....

Crazy here went to a animal psychic for a free reading on Saturday.

She said Miss Pie did not want to talk about her eyes; they are a non-issue for her as she sees with her heart. 

I loved this.  They psychic told me Pie prays and is worried about me because I'm sad about my mom. 

That's just the sweetest thing.  

She also told me Fezzik misses his milk.

I told her he was abruptly weaned at 12 weeks and laughed. 

So I bought him some goats milk and he loved it. 

So we have touched on gardens, dinners and psychic readings.

Oh ! This is a knit blog.

I knit a hot water bottle cover this weekend. 

You are supposed to close the bottom, but I want to be able to take it off and wash it. 

While knitting it, I learned how to fix a dropped garter stitch.

This is HUGE for me. 

I think because I used a bigger yarn I could SEE what had to be done. 

I've been trying to learn this for years.....

I think the cover would make a lovely giftie for someone having surgery. 

Happy MONDAY
