If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero

This week had it’s ups and downs. The British Hubby needed some emergency dental work done (I know you’re thinking the British aren’t exactly known for their fantastic teeth). At the end of the week, I had a mini bout with the flu for about 36 hours. Today we’re celebrating having our health and a new plant. A few months ago, one of the kitties chewed off part of my only succulent plant in the house. In an attempt to salvage the broken bits, I stuck one part in a shot glass of water and put it on our kitchen window sill. Last week, there was a good root system in place so I planted it in a little tea cup. Now, this is normally where plants go south for me. I mean well, but they always seem to die once I replant them. Today, I noticed my little plant has new leaves budding!

This week I needed an easy knitting project. Malabrigo Love of My Life Shawl Edition, was exactly what I needed. The garter rows makes this project easy to follow when I wasn’t feeling the greatest. Now that I’m in section C, you can see the short row shaping which makes this an interesting knit.
