We have them in our yard & I love the flowers. They are poisonous (digitalis is made from plant parts) and toxic to people and animals. My cats are all indoor babies so I don't worry about them getting sick. There are a few dogs in the neighborhood I wouldn't mind feed it to however . . . . (kidding! I think) I think the flower you almost pulled out is Foxglove. We have them in our yard & I love the flowers. They are poisonous (digitalis is made from plant parts) and toxic to people and animals.

I'm having my dumb hernia surgery on June 15th, so I won't be able to come to ASK at your house. This bums me out because I'm curious to see how all my internet babies live. Stupid hernia. I tried to get into SL, but SL doesn't want me. Every SINGLE time I tried to log in, it said that it was down, or busy (or some shit like that) and to try again in a few minutes. I hate when the internet rejects me (hello diaryland). Dammit. I’m having my dumb hernia surgery on June 15th, so I won’t be able to come to ASK at your house.

I'm glad you survived the move. I think a lot of people have had bad luck with swaps. One of the things I learned from my first and only swap is that you do not have to give the person everything they ask for. It is a swap. You were not hired to make her the socks of her dreams. Oh, and I made socks with Panda Cotton. It is the splittiest yarn I have ever worked with. Another vote for foxglove here. I’m glad you survived the move.

Sadly, my first time in the sockapalooza, my pal misunderstood and thought I WANTED knee socks, and knit same. I love them and I scrunch them down with my hiking boots, but GAWD I felt awful when I pulled them out and realized that my "tall socks" and her "tall socks" were vastly different interpretations.

It's great to hear from you again. Congratulations on the move! I'm sorry about the slingbacks. I think I would probably cry (but I find it hard to find shoes I like). Awwww, Violet sure is cute. This getting old thing bites the big one. It's so hard to see my grandmother get frailer and frailer every year. Hey! It’s great to hear from you again.

Working very hard here to overcome shyness and antisocial nature to ask: "I can has e-vite to ASK meeting?" Seriously, I don't know what's involved in being involved, but I'm intrigued. I'm local, I knit, nobody has ever called me a fucktard. Congrats on the new digs!

You've got a guest house, huh? .... Just kidding. That is so awesome, you guys with your house that has floors and flowers and whatnot. The star jasmine is SO 70s. I mean, the little flower shapes. I think I had a pillowcase with star jasmine on it. :) …..

It's cardiotoxic if eaten, especially to the furry set. Congrats on the successful move, may you keep that joy forever Wen. What you wrote about your Dad made me cry...I lost mine in December and what you wrote hit so very close to home, damn the long goodbye. Frankly, I think it's pretty nerve-y to ask one's sock pal to spend twice the amount of $$ and time than the suggested guidelines by asking for knee socks, you're a good egg to go along with her request. That's the reason I'm not participating in Sockapalooza for the first time since it's inception. I will, however, knit you some socks if you'd like :) Yep, it’s foxglove.

PS My grandmother's star jasmine has eaten her mailbox. PPS I like Violet's pink tiny stomper boots - they are really working for her.

I don't know you at all (I clicked over here from Andria's blog), but I noticed that we have the same bedding, and for some reason I am always fascinated to find other people who pick the same things I do. I once almost moved to an apartment complex because the model they showed me had the same dinette set that I own. I guess that makes me weird. Anyway, hi. Heh.
