Knitting Fail

Screwed up the Tanwen scarf again  There’s a garter stitch section and I purled it on the back instead of knit.  Twice.  Dropped down 6 rows for one, other was 4 inches [10cm] down – I’m going to duplicate stitch over it

In the Garden

Deck coming together – tomatoes, peppers, basil and flowers.  Had “helpers”  Took twice as long but they had fun

Also, got chamomile, cilantro and basil seedlingds in the herb garden

Planted cucumber and watermelon seedlings in the garden

On the Run

Finally got to progress past half a mile!  Unfortunately I’ve had pain in my foot and Achilles tendon.  Gonna talk to my physical therapist about it tomorrow.  Fingers crossed it’s nothing major.  I want to run!
