Homegrown PATCHOULI - Pogostemon cablin

So, I went on Ebay and bought a plant. Can you get off? A plant by mail lol. It came in a brown bag in a box lol Funny Stuff! Husband couldnt contain himself. He opened it before even getting back from the mailbox. As soon as he got it into its pre prepared pot, he butchered it for his aerogarden.  Not to mention insists that the poor, butchered plantling needs a 24 hour light cycle. I was super excited bout having and growing patchouli but now... not so much. Now, Im just hoping it survives at all.

Sometimes ya just need to write down that you have a problem to solve it.

Started this 63 square afghan and am plugging along nicely. I'm a little intimidated by edging, I guess. Its the only way I can describe it. I'm sure I know how, my head just wont lemme. I'm gonna buckle down, break out some safety pins as stitch markers and work those 25 stitches down the sides if it kills me lol  I have 4 squares almost finished. one needs one more row of edge and 3 aren't edged at all. I'm even thinking I m not sure I like the off white. I settled for what was in the store.
I got out last night and looked for a 3 hook but could only find a C so I'm gonna attempt the treble in that and just go online and buy stuff. I don't have patience for shopping, especially when I cant find what I want and its such basic stuff.
Im loving the white gaff tape for marking. There's plenty of room to indicate hook size too. Will be wonderful  information to keep track of
Pic doesn't incl sq. 5. which still might be off gauge even with the H.

And so it begins...


  I have no idea where Im going to take this, what I intend to do with it or how Im going to get us there but, it starts here. The wind is whipping the world through our prayer flags like they're needed.

Hail fell yesterday. The sky was so dark, I dont think the sun even tried. Today, the wind is out for vengeance, the sun is shining, the husband is gone and I wont be bothered to do anything...all day!
And thats exactly what I did...Nothing!
