I bought 8 skeins of Ultra Alpaca, thinking the eighth was the good-luck skein.
Since hearing that Caroline is only using 4 for her February Lady Sweater, I’ve been thinking about how much I have. I started browsing Ravelry to see how many skeins people used of this for various sweaters.
Guys, someone made a 40.5″ Tilted Duster in just 6 skeins.
I am SO going to have extra yarn. Like 3 skeins extra. I am going to have to make a lot of gifts out of it. I’ll match people!
So today I went to the community garden and helped harvest—more green beans! Yay. And ground cherries (ever heard of THOSE before? I didn’t think so), some peppers, and tomatoes. Why am I not over-ecstatic about the tomatoes? Except for the lemon cherry tomatoes, they all had Blossom End Rot. :( So sad. Kind of grosssss. At least now I know what it looks like. Here’s hoping the lime treatment we added will make it better.
The people there really know what they’re doing. I’m excited to join them. Also, the meeting was at 2pm, basically lunchtime, so I got fresh food for lunch! Whatever the members don’t eat gets sold to the cafeteria, so hopefully I’ll see some of the food there.
Oh yeah, and my mom hasn’t sent my package yet. She will be hearing from me tomorrow. She will be hearing from meeee.
That food sure does sound tasty. But 2pm seems a little late for lunch to me. Then again, my internal clock seems to operate about two hours earlier than everyone else’s. :( I eat dinner before 5 and to me it’s not breakfast if it’s eaten after 9, it’s brunch.
Anyway. So this club just does gardening around your school? That’s crazy. Community garden?! My school wouldn’t stand for it. There’s a couple of greenhouses around but I think they belong to a college, not to a club. Probably the college of natural sciences or something.
I’ve been eating lots of fresh food at home – and the bounty will only increase before I leave for school (not till the 25th of September). I’m kinda glad I don’t have to miss it.
