Yarn Along (no.14)

Ginny's Yarn Along has been a wonderful source of motivation and inspiration for knitting and reading. This week I'm happy to have my camera back and show my progress on Sweetpea's dress. I only have the sleeves and collar to finish.


This week I've been reading The Urban Homestead: Your Guide to Self-sufficient Living in the Heart of the City. I like their Self Watering Container idea. Maybe if I make some SWCs my container gardening will be more successful this summer (everything shriveled up and died of thirst last summer... oops!).

    Cute dress!
    I could use some self-watering containers for sure! Looks like an interesting read!

    What a sweet dress! Love that ruffled bottom :) I could use the self watering containers to. We were away for a couple of days for camping and some of the baskets were really shriveled by the time we came back :( can't wait to see how your dress finishes up :)

    I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying The Urban Homestead - have you been following all the trademark controversy going on right now?
