My boy, Raj, is 3 yrs old today. We got him on Valentines Day when he was this bit of fluff. He is the direct descendant of our last Siamese, Thai, who was 20 when he passed. He was such a great cat I wanted another just like him as Raj will most likely be my last cat.

Yes mange. I live on an Island so they are inbred and new ones would have to swim to repopulate. Actually my road is named Fox Hollow Run. Used to be a lot here. This one came by one morning many years ago . Sigh

Bumblebee bum on my Mexican Sage. I have had 3 huge plants of this sage for 5 years and it never disappoints. It blooms late season even through light frost. Bees love it. I can dry it easily and have great color in house all winter. I do have to lift plants and store in protective garage for winter

Yes. I once made a cable sweater with expensive mostly merino. And it was dark brown. Big mistake . I can hardly see the cables especially now with some fuzzing after washing . Still a nice warm sweater , but wrong choice of yarn 🧶

Ha! I rather use circular for color work. I practically never do flat work anymore. Look at this crazy sweater I bought on vacation here in Slovenia. Because of course I really need another sweater. This one would have been tricky to knit

Thanks for posting this. I want to make this but wonder if the weekly updates are on the website or only on Facebook as I am not on Facebook. I love love the idea of doing in the round. Only trouble is I also am doing a Christmas themed needlepoint canvas and a million other projects!

Nice! I am a new user as you can see. As my native garden grows each year I am amazed at how many more insects are around. So much fun
