Today's post from Wimpy Girl

The humidity has finally broken and even though it is 83 degrees, there is a faint stirring of a cool wind. So, I decided the time was just right to get outside and plant the crepe myrtle tree and gardenia shrubs that have been patiently waiting in their pots. I wasn't outside more than an hour and I couldn't wait to get inside.  I kept telling myself, as my shirt filled with sweat (there just isn't a polite way to say it), just one more bush and you can go inside, shower, and work on that crochet project that is so close to being finished. I have always wanted to be a pioneer girl; buy some property, plant a huge vegetable garden to live on, a flock of sheep to spin, chickens to have an abundant supply of grass-fed eggs. Instead, I am in the burbs barely keeping my raised beds going. I'm a wimp!  I did finally get all my plantings in and quickly said a prayer over them. The rest is up to God's grace. Now for the fun part, I have been happily crocheting this project:

 The work on the needles is a knitted edging that, when finished, I will attach to the edge of the granny square afghan. The pattern is from this book: Knitting Loves Crochet by Candi Jensen. It has many garments as well as pillow projects that combine both knitting and crochet.
 Here is a picture of a  little sweater for pooch. I am thinking about making it for our beagle, Amelia, a.k.a Butters. How she ended up with that nickname will be explained in a special post when she shares how she was rescued, cold and sick, and ended up in our care.
