Hope your hip continues to heal. No gardening after acupuncture is good, but now that you won't have anymore, you'll be able to go at your own pace. Take it easy though!

Would like it to stop raining long enough to dig up a veggie garden - went to GreenGate yesterday (down the street from Passport Canada, and applied for them) and got some veggies to plant. Have to get them in this weekend!

I have a question for all the knitters here - I got a bunch of "stuff" from my cousin yesterday, and part of it was 9 balls of "yarn" and I'm not sure what to make with it (a piece of clothing perhaps?) but here's the pic of the "yarn". "unknown fabric" it says, but feels like silk. I've never seen anything like it... I really love the texture, and the colour, but the "thread" portion of it at the top of this pic looks like heavy thread and would be the only thing holding it together. btw - I Do Not crochet - it would have to be knitted.
Any suggestions?
