Look! Sprouts! The first is cucumber and the others are basil. I moved the flower seeds behind the turtle light so that they might get some natural light. I really should read the packages and figure out when to start worrying.


Last week was a rough one for Squidette. Adolescence was not being nice to her and I think I came of as somewhat unsympathetic despite my best efforts to be understanding. So, I am proving my love in the manner I know best. Knitting.
She pored over my back issues of
Knitter's Magazine and picked out this.

We took the pattern to
Knitty City and picked out these.

I will take the pattern stitch and combine it with this,

because the smallest size in the magazine will fit
me loosely and Squidette is
still smaller in all areas despite her best efforts at growing.
Two episodes of
Enterprise later ...

an almost completed swatch. I figure another episode should do it. The swatch, by the way, is bigger then one side of this sweater will be. Think it's big enough?
(Yes, Cookie and KnittyOtter, our inner Trekkies are coming out and Squidette is catching the fever. Years from now she will make me regret getting rid of all my Trek stuff.)
