The Knitting Fiend

 
 
 

Solar Garden Gnome
Will amuse you all day long,
protect you at night.

 
 
 

I need some cutesy things for my garden. I used to have a gargoyle sitting under the ash tree, but his wings fell off last spring. I found this cute garden gnome at Garden Flags. I wonder if a gnome is as good at warding off bulb eating varmits as a gargoyle?

 

Passion for pompom
can lead a knitter astray:
cause her to wear this.

Maybe it’s not that bad…. Maybe I’ve just developed a prejudice against pom poms after seeing endless pompom patterns at Joann Fabrics where I found this.

Or maybe it really is that bad. . .

I want to thank everyone for wishing my Dad a swift recovery. Thanks to all the payers and the work by the great folks in Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Dad is now at home recovering.

He evidently has a polyp removed when he had his colonoscopy. He was fine for a while, but then took aspirin, which he blames for the bleeding. (I’m not sure if his doctors blame the aspirin, but it’s plausible.)

He sounded chipper yesterday and I think he’ll be fine for the long haul. Of course, I am calling daily!
