Happy Birthday DH! I hope that you are having a lovely day off!! I love you!!
I am posting work & do not have pictures with me. Yesterday I started the leaf & tendril sock & had great success with my own variation of the invisible cast on. Problems crept up on me slowly once the toe was formed, after 14+ rows of the pattern when I was forced to admit that I purl looser than I knit (the front of the sock has a pearl background). As Cat Bordhi warned, looser purl stitches lead to a puffy sock front. After a quick check of my needles, I placed an order with Knit Picks for two 2.25 24" mm's and the size smaller than that too. Hopefully they will arrive before the weekend.
On another green front, DH has offered to dig me a small garden patch. I am VERY excited & kind-of hoping that maybe he is digging it today even though it's his birthday. Last year I grew a sweet 100 plant in a pot & it did well. While I know the garden patch will be tiny, I am hoping that I will be able to have two tomato plants, some herbs & maybe some peppers. We can't do anything that will spread due to our community rules.
