Due to an accident too hideous to relate, I had to wash the blanket-in-progress. While it was drying, I finished the heel on the woolen sock I'm making for Tom, and started the quilting on Genny's b-day gift. I was glad to learn that the blanket grew by 50% in length in the blocking process; this is information it's better to learn now, than after I've knit ten linear feet. I don't think I have a proper use for a blanket 15 feet long.

I did buy more fertilizer and sprinkle it over the back yard appropriately. Nature is now watering it in.
