After searching all over the internet, I only found one place that sold this yarn, and it was kind of expensive. After careful consideration, I decided this specific yarn was out of my budget. Well, not so much that I couldn't afford it, but rather I decided it cost more than it was worth -- plus the shipping cost more than the yarn itself did. So, I did what any red-blooded American would do.
I found similar colors in a more poor-folk friendly yarn.
I can get several hats out of this, or maybe a matching scarf for my sister in law. We shall see.
As promised, I got out this morning and clawed up the roots left in my wildflower bed.
It looks a lot better now. I still haven't seen any more spider lilies, other than the two that showed up a few days ago. What has showed up are migrating humming birds. I usually have two or three locals that hang around all summer long, but the last couple of days, I've been seeing a dozen or more.
I figure I'm a way station on their journey South. I'm going to put out another feeder for the rest of the season. I had several feeders, but they've all cracked, or developed leaks, or whatever, so I ordered a new one off Amazon. It will get here Monday -- which is sooner than I would have gone back into town anyway.
Funny thing, I was sitting in my living room floor, filming that through the front door when the mail came. I was concentrating on the hummingbirds, so I didn't even see the truck pull up. The carrier put my package of yarn beside the door, then knocked on it with her scan gun.
Then I had to go change my pants.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have knitting to knit and football to watch.
