<p class="MsoNormal">- I finished my 20 inches Granny square that I made as a blanket for our cat. She loves it. I originally miscalculated and was doing it too big for the seat it was supposed to cover. But now it's perfect! :)<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- I finally made the potato chip scarf of Chapter 2 of the Touch the Yarn book. I love it, already thinking of tweaking the pattern a bit to make it a tad longer. And make another one.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- I learned how to recover a dropped stitch that dropped one row. I know the theory of how to recover the stitch when it dropped several rows but didn't succeeded doing it. Yet. :) Still, I'm very pleased with the progress. My mother-in-law
was impressed. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal">It’s Successful Saturday! Have you started or finished a project, or achieved a goal? Share it with us and we’ll celebrate with you.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">For a few months I’ve been working on a plan to convert almost all of my front lawn into a garden for birds and pollinators, full of flowers and ornamental grasses. I’ve figured out the design, and this last week I ordered most of the
plants. It wasn’t cheap, but it will be beautiful for many years. My plants will arrive in about a month, and then I’ll arrange them and start putting them in the ground. I’m very excited about it.<o:p></o:p></p>
