This heat is murder. I try to do all my outside stuff early in the am, like 7am. Staying inside sounds like a plan.

rhizo 1, Absolutely take the lesson one step further,if it prevents this from happening to others. I am ashamed to say you were right when you noted the Herbicide was in another container marked Insecticide,serves me right for being so foolish to do that in the first place. I appreciate the advice given about the soapy water and other tips.I Guess I panicked when I saw the vast amount of Aphids all over my plants.I have a large Garden and did not want them to spread all any further.

Congratulations! As Rebecca said, yes, weave in your tail. Be sure to go up and down, not side to side. Side to side will take away from the stretchyness provided by the ribbing at that point. (I once did side to side weaving on a sock where I changed colors frequently, and it really make the sock hard to get on.) Can you join at cast-on so you don't have the dip? I join by the trading stitches method. I don't know how others do it. Yes, picking up stitches for the gusset is the hardest part. I usually pick up 2 extra also. I bought double sets of needles and worked on each sock alternating back and forth so they were both done at the same time, but I have never had "second sock syndrome" where I didn't want to start the second one. He wants to play with your masterpiece, your fabulous creation!!!??? LOL! Oh well, at least he takes an interest in what Mom's doing. Tell him you'll knit him a pair to wear one of these days. Cute story.

I thought about grinding it, but don't have a grinder. It really works out better for me, since I'm alone, to divide it up. I'm happy I got the bargain, and it will give me one more thing to do on Monday, my day off, but hey, it's worth it. I think I'm going to look into a meat grinder, though, because if I had one, I'd probably have bought a bigger turkey.
