I cannot tell you how awesome this is for me since I killed everything in my garden last year (well, so did the solid week of 110 degree weather, but I probably could have saved them).
It was very yummy. One tomato doesn't go very far on a salad, but it was a very ceremonious (is that a word?) experience.
So last night I dragged Matt to two different craft stores looking for the yarn to make this:
It is the Glorious Colors Afghan from a Lion Brand Catalog I got awhile back. I recently picked it up again and fell in mad, mad love. So much so that I basically designed the spare bedroom/craft room around it. The yarn is Jiffy, knit doubled on size 17 needles. The perfect project for a 100-degree F-No summer.
However I'd like to give Lion a swift kick in the gnads because apparently 1/2 the colors required are not available in store and I cannot take advantage of Joann's $1.99 sale.
Speaking of the house, internal walls are up!

Mmm... garden tomato... Very cool afghan - but what the heck re color availability?! Grr.
Sometimes the websites have more than in the store. You might want to check it out, just in case!
Joanne online has the colors you want and free shipping! The yarn is priced at $2.29 tho.
Thanks Christie - I didn't think about that!
have you tried finding the yarns online? i think dreamweaver and patternworks carries this brand.
yay for the house and the tomatoes =)
What a fabulous tomato! Being that I am inadvertently killing geranium plants and having previously killed two basil plants, I am jealous. More tomatoes to come from there!!
