I Never Promised You an Organic Garden

Very Exciting News: I have finished my first hand knitted wool sweater.  I started this in February, and I just finished sewing up the sleeves at 9:30pm this evening.  I still need to take the time to block it, but it is totally wearable at this moment.  For all you non-knitters, blocking is dousing a completed project in water and pinning it out into the final shape you want.  This helps to work out uneven stitches, ensure proper length and width, and generally improves the final look of your project.

For those you who following along regularly, you will remember Matt and I received a package with spandex biking clothes in the mail from china a few months ago.  Neither of us had ordered the clothes, and honestly neither of us have use for spandex biking clothes.  It seemed that it would always remain a mystery where the clothes came from, but this week I received an email that cleared everything up.

The family that owned our house before us had ordered the outfit on ebay and forgot to change their shipping address, hence they came to us.  The clothes have now been returned to their rightful owner and all is well.
