...and soon there will be roses


My order has been delayed, my pretty roses are not yet ready to ship. Guess I should be happy that I have more time to get pots and such for the young plants. So while waiting I am playing with the computer and find a sale on roses, that will be discontinued so my order there is for 6 plus alternates just in case.


I have know idea why I like old garden roses, albas, bourbons, musks, and species. I even have some giganteas on order.


So now while I wait I knit, and groom the cats. my knitting right now is without a pattern but is a tribute to one of my lost kitties. I was not happy with it and had to frog it back, i think the problem was the needle being used. the yarn is a Debbie Bliss Donegal tweed and was too slippery for metal needles i am now using wooden circulars. I lost about a weeks worth of knitting and not happy about that but at least now i wont have the very obviously fixed dropped stitches.


I sound like a crazy old spinster-cat-lady knitting in her Victorian garden.
