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

The wool cloth is a studio dyed cloth! We have many different colours in it. 

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.

Marnie without seeing your garden I know it is beautiful, you have so many flowers in your garden!

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.

Thank you Jane, the sunday letters bring many joy. 

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.
