little plants in paper pots

The peas are growing so fast! I transferred them to paper pots so they have a little more room until I can get them outside. The broccoli that was shooting up so fast is long and leggy but the peas have serious roots that need more space.

Yesterday was warm and sunny in the afternoon, seriously raining in the morning. Rain coat for the dog walk, luxurious sun for repotting the peas. Perfect spring day.

I was out by the woodshed working on the little paper pots, filling them with dirt and pea plants when I remembered....new yarn shop in town! Opening night was yesterday and I was 1/2 an hour late already. Forget dinner, wash your hands and get going! See...that's the sort of thing that happens as the days get longer. Time slides away.

This is the current knitting project, a make it up as I go vest...or sweater if I feel like making sleeves. Now that I know that the owner of the new yarn store has a problem with sleeves, sort of like second sock syndrome, I may have to make this into a sweater. With an order in to Webs for Cascade 220 and a couple of balls of green worsted from the new store, I think I can afford to make sleeves.

I don't like the way the yellow on dark green row has that little hitch in it at the beginning of the rows, but I think I can straighten that out a bit when I tug at the ends to sew them in. Lots of ends to sew in, but different colors keep my gnat brain interested. ...and wondering why so many of the patterns in A. Starmore's "Charts for Color Knitting" are multiples of 8 and 12.
