Thursday Live, Episode 247: How to hold the hook

Hello Deanne, I’m just watching your live this morning. What fabric are you using for this project? It looks like your hook goes easily into it. How do you decide when to use yarn vs wool in your projects? I see you are going back and forth with each. Thanks for your wonderful videos! Laura

Hi from Lillooet in B.C. Hardy plants in my garden are peonies, irises ( large and mini), veronica, monarda, sea lavender, ligularia, monkshood, heuchera, Siberian iris, perennial geranium, daylily, Asiatic lilies, lilac, hosta, snakeroot, and lady’s mantle. I also have a climbing hydrangea and a dark elder with pink flowers. Raspberries and strawberries are hardy here. For groundcovers gallium and ajuga are the best. It gets very hot in the summers here so most of these plants are at their best in May-June.

I love your Sunday letters. Please do not change a thing. You are a gifted writer and we are privileged to receive your letters every week. I also love your lives. Cannot wait for Thursday’s to arrive. Thanks so much.

Personally, I don’t mind you using “I” as many times as you’d like when you write your letters. It would be weird if you spoke in the third person! My garden is xeriscaped as I live in the hot, dry Okanagan Valley.

My oh my, why anyone would not watch the complete live is beyond me! As always, I am so grateful for the way you share from your heart and mind, Deanne. I also admire your grace in sharing what might be viewed as a critical comment and took as a chance to really think about your intent. That says alot about you and it is all good things!
