Mossy Cottage Knits

Happy 17th Anniversary

To "The Mysterious K"

Thank you for...

Helping make the dye garden, the blog, the blog pictures, and our new cyber-blogging-knitting-dyeing-commenting friends possible

Unceasingly and uncomplainingly watering the dye garden
even though it means hauling that long, heavy hose aaaaaallllllll the way
across the yard day after day

Not laughing when I ended up putting the birdbath right in the exact center of the dye garden even when I tried to put it slightly off center
to be stylish and creative

Being the inspiration for some of the blog stories

Being good-humored about the stories you inspire even though I occasionally
take a jab or two at your expense

Being bold enough to leave comments occasionally, even though you thought
you never would in a million years

Putting up with a freezer so full of bags of frozen flowers there is no room for food

Never complaining when I leap up at the oddest moments and say,
"Time to take photos!"

Never complaining when I arrange your things in weird ways
to "stage" my pictures

Never complaining when I say, "The batteries are dead on the camera,"
even though you know I expect you to fix it even though I used up all the power

Listening patiently to my stories about how this brown swatch is different from that brown swatch

Not laughing at the fact that I talk about brown so much now even though I used to tell you your old brown couch was the ugliest thing ever

Laughing only a little bit when I got yellow dye all over one of my favorite shirts

Listening patiently while I describe e-v-e-r-y minute of
what I did at Knitting Guild

Lending me your food scale so I can weigh the skeins of Henry's Attic
to make sure they are just right

Not jumping when the plastic cup on the food scale hits the floor for the umpteenth time when I pull the Henry's Attic too hard

For not minding that tonight I will be at Sockfest instead of with you (but we'll make up for it with dinner at Palisade tomorrow night!)

And, even though this has nothing to do with the blog, for being the best cook ever!
