Isn't he adorable? I think he was worth the effort. He's really a lot of fun to carry around. I admit I haven't finished his drawstring yet, but it's a lot of i-cord when I'd much rather be knitting lace, cables and socks.
I am lamenting the wind today. It uprooted all three of my heirloom melon seedlings that were doing so beautifully. Re-planting is a part of gardening, doesn't mean I have to like it.
