10 Things We're Doing Besides Knitting & Crocheting
February 27th, 2015
Here in the marketing department at Lion Brand, we talk a lot about knitting and crocheting and yarn and magic loops and swatches and yarn weights (we know our DK from our super bulky) and and and … bottom line is that we're all experts in one way or another when it comes yarn. We can talk about it all day — and we do! You may however be surprised to know that we're also fairly well-rounded with an excess of interests, hobbies and obsessions that go beyond the hooks and needles.
We thought you might enjoy a peek into our inner worlds. Have fun and please share some of your own personal interests outside of knitting and crocheting in the comments below.
Zoe: I've been playing Destiny, a futuristic first-person shooter from the creators of Halo. My Warlock alter ego finally acquired the elusive Gjallarhorn and is well on the way to becoming legend. With so many minions of darkness to destroy, it's tough choosing between needles and controller!
Sarah: Sunday mornings, I'm curling up with a cup of tea and a Rehab Addict marathon on HGTV. My favorite weekend breakfast sandwich: Spread half an avocado onto a toasted everything bagel and top with three slices of bacon (I cook my bacon in the oven like Ina's recipe to avoid a greasy kitchen). During the week, instead of knitting on the subway, I like to listen to podcasts. My favorite at the moment is 99 Percent Invisible which is a podcast about design. It covers things that you wouldn't expect like the origins of the sports mascot, buildings that once housed Pizza Huts, and the way airports are laid out to get you to buy food. I love learning these fun facts!
Shira: Being a single lady in the city and Brand ambassador for Lion brand Yarn, my social life has definitely taken off. I no longer have time for one of my favorite things to do … hang out with my two cats Psy and Thai and catch up some really good TV like the New Girl, or another one we love Scandal. If I try to knit while I watch TV, the kitties try to help, but their version of "help" is not really helping so watching TV is like a mini-vacation from my Yarn life.
Petrina: I'm trying to brighten up my apartment more and find myself getting into gardening. Recently my in-laws gave me some paperwhites as a gift and I planted them a few weeks ago so they're just starting to bloom now – just in time for spring!
Brandyce: I've been doing a lot of cooking lately, and since it's so cold here in the northeast, soups have definitely been a favorite of mine. I recently came across this Butternut Squash Quinoa and Kale Stew recipe from Love and Lemons, and it was great! I also added Mushrooms for some extra texture – and think it could taste even better with maybe some bacon pieces or chorizo. I will definitely be making more of this soup; it's so hearty and flavorful.
Ilana: To relax and stay in shape, I do yoga regularly. Even though I don't really enjoy most exercise, yoga gives me an immediate feeling of relaxation by the end of the class. I started practicing about six years ago because I felt stiff when I woke up in the morning. Doing yoga regularly solved that problem and makes me more mindful of my physical health so I'm not as likely to fall into bad habits.
Danielle: Sad that the new Modest Mouse will be released later than expected, I at least found comfort in an engrossing little ebook called, "Crocheting with Kurt Cobain". Kind of, sort of, not really about Kurt Cobain or crocheting, it's about a deceased law student who's stuck between heaven and earth and must somehow atone for her wrong-doings before she can get entrance to heaven. I couldn't put it down … I'm also excited about all the amazing shows coming to New York City this year – Björk, Yoko Ono, Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, to name a small few! It's a good time to visit if you can work it into your travel plans.

The Studio Knit-Along – My Adventure Continues
February 24th, 2015
I've never been more determined to finish something I'm knitting in my whole life! I feel as though I am in the Knit-Along Olympics, competing against myself. It's not really a competition, but this week when I showed up with my ribbing, and everyone else had their back portion done and they were either finished or half way done with the front part of the sweater, I realized I needed to pick up my game. The group is spurring me on. I'm knitting like a fiend, trying to catch up to these ultra-fast ladies.
So I have run into a few hiccups.
As I was knitting, doing my increases every sixteen rows, I looked at my fabric and saw there was a big gaping hole in the back panel! I had dropped a stitch and it was ten rows back. How was I going to fix this? Will I have to rip it out?! How will I know where I was? I started to sweat. What to do …
I went through my collection of crochet hooks, and I'm going to be honest, I've never been so thankful for a crochet hook in my life! I took some calming breaths and saved the stitch, bringing it back up to the needle.
My next challenge? Counting rows …
I'm scared to find out what happens if I mess up the counting. Ann, the KAL instructor, had suggested I get a row counter, but what do you do about traveling? How do you know it won't get pushed? That's all I need, to think I'm on row 16 but I've really done 25 rows. Then what happens? I travel all the time with my knitting, how does one count rows while traveling on a subway?!
My mission and to end on a positive note!
I am on a mission to finish my front and back panels this week because I cannot wait to start the side panels and sleeves of my sweater. The good news is that I love knitting with Heartland®. It can only get better from here right?
Crochet a Chelsea Morning Cowl in two movies or less!
February 24th, 2015
Lion Brand®'s LB Collection® Silk Chiffon Ribbon is made from recycled silk sari fabric and I just love it. As a big fan of mori girl fashion – a Japanese street-style that focuses on forest-like aesthetics, layering, and upcycling – this handcut, artisanal yarn is a dream come true.
Thinking about the colder weather, I used the yarn to create a garment I call the "Chelsea Morning Cowl". With some help from our Design department, I've made this pattern available to you so you can make one yourself!
Since each skein of Silk Chiffon Ribbon is one-of-a-kind, I decided to pair it with Wool-Ease® Thick and Quick® in the color Grey Marble – it's a good neutral to use to emphasize the color scheme of the Silk Chiffon Ribbon. My skein featured beautiful blues and purples.
Mori girl focuses a lot on layering, so I created an eyelet design to highlight an outfit underneath the cowl. Since I'm a petite person, I normally wear it as a cape.
The best part of this pattern? It's a super quick project and can be finished in under four hours – that's about two movies or four episodes of your favorite television show!

Homespun with Love: The Sunset Throw
February 22nd, 2015
This story is from our newsletter called Pattern Journal which brings a warm-hearted, wholesome story to your inbox to read every month. If you enjoy it and would like to subscribe, click here.
In my family, Peggy, my big sister, weaves, Mom crochets–and I knit. For as long as I can remember, it seemed, we each had our piece of yarn turf, and we didn't trespass. Why it was like that, I don't know. Maybe we didn't want to compete with each other.
But one day I got this super strong urge to learn to crochet. Actually, I imagined myself crocheting something really cool for Mom's birthday.
Mom had sometimes offered to teach me before. "There's only one tool," she'd explained. "And things work up quickly." I always made excuses, so after a while she stopped. I guess I just wasn't ready then. But now I certainly was.
My urge to crochet just wouldn't disappear and I was too proud to ask her this time. I got a "How To" book at the library, but the diagrams made me cross-eyed. Then a light bulb went on — I'm a visual learner! If I just paid attention to someone crocheting, I'd certainly get the hang of it.
That's when the next light bulb illuminated. The Lion Brand Website! It has a Learning Center, with short instructional videos. So once my homework was done, I'd watch a How to Crochet video multiple times each night, practicing a chain stitch, or single or double crochet stitch. Pretty soon I could tell that I was ready for a real project.
Naturally I wanted something perfect for a beginner. In addition to the Learning Center, Lion Brand had a gigantic pattern directory and through it I found this amazing Sunset Throw design, crocheted in eight rich colors of Homespun®. That yarn has unbelievable qualities–it's loopy and lustrous, and really soft. It just makes you want to snuggle! I planned to crochet the individual sections in my room, sew them together, and give the throw to Mom for her birthday.
* * *
"Happy birthday!" I crowed, handing Mom my debut work, neatly folded. "I taught myself to crochet so I could make this for you."
"Oh wow," she laughed. "So that's where my K hook went." Then she hugged me so hard, it was like we were blanketed in love.

Inspired by New England, Lion Brand's "Country" yarn changes like the weather!
February 21st, 2015
:: cant' see the video above? click here: http://youtu.be/HL0oKnVDfBo ::
"If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes." Mark Twain
Our American-made yarns draw inspiration from cherished American landscapes. Country®, for instance, is inspired by New England's picturesque scenery. And like New England, where the weather can change if you just wait awhile, this striped yarn creates an unexpected but stunning heathered fabric as you knit or crochet with it.
It's super bulky which means it works up quickly and keeps you warm at the same time, especially if you're working on a large project like the Subtle Stripes Afghan.
It's the perfect yarn to get you through the last few weeks of bitter cold and snow. Knit up an afghan inspired by your favorite vacation towns with Kennebunk Teal or Mystic Purple or crochet a last-minute winter accessory.
Below is a collection of our favorite Country® patterns:
|Knit Colorblock Slipover
|Crochet Foxy Buttoned Neckwarmer
|Knit Side to Side Sleeveless Cardi
|Crochet Subtle Stripes Afghan
|Crochet Rocky Hill Poncho
|Knit Mountain Mittens
|Crochet Stonework Afghan
|Knit Nantucket Hat
Create a Bold Look with Just Two Rectangles!
February 20th, 2015
We can't stop! There are just so many ways to turn a simple rectangle into a gorgeous garment. The Simple Shrug and Vegan Fur Poncho are perfect examples of that! Now we're taking it to the next level with the Tribeca Tunic.
This top is made from two rectangles seamed together at the sides. Although the pattern is for intermediate knitters, there's no shaping at the armholes or neck so it works up in a breeze! The front and back pieces are made up of smaller rectangular panels which a bold, geometric look that's very trendy right now.
Made with Modern Baby®, you can see that the eye-catching contrast makes this yarn a fun choice to use for garments for children and adults alike! Plus, you'll love the sparkly detailing done with Vanna's Glamour®!

Hate to agree with a Hawks fan after that beating they gave my team last night but....I have played hockey since I was 8 until now 26. If you have never learned to take/deliver a check trying to play now is beyond dumb. You are seriously putting yourself at risk. I have played every level from rec, high school, travel 11-18, ACHA, beer league (18 to present), adult travel, and pick up, but any working adult would not want to play checking hockey. Checking hockey is for adults who get payed to play whether it is in a paycheck or education. Putting yourself at risk for just checking isn't a smart idea. I love having adults who don't know how to check take a run at me because I am 5`9 and 180lb and just run them over simply because they don't know how to check. Adult hockey is about having fun, not being showing someone how tough or hard you can be. If any player is such a tough SOB or checker they would be playing some form of PROFESSIONAL hockey. At the pay to play stages, I really don't feel like there is a need for full check hockey. Yes, I have played pick up with friends who know how to check and throw some bodies( not full check), but we are not trying to put each other through the glass or ice. I still don't even like that because I do not wish to get hurt or miss work. I also don't want any working adult to be turned into vegetable soup for the rest of their live for playing the great game of hockey for fun.

With the expeditions of the great plant hunters of the Victorian age, gardens in the Western world were filled with a multitude of new and exciting plants. It is no wonder that the popularity of the herbaceous border came to the fore. In this traditional-style border, we can see how the planting scheme cleverly weaves plants of differing colors and heights, but there is no defined color scheme.
Muted colors. Gray and glaucous foliage planted en masse need not be boring. In the last decade, alliums, especially the large globe varieties, have become very popular as accent plants. Here they stand over a mixed planting of 'Cotton Lavender', Santolina chamaecyparissus, and French lavender, Lavandula stoechas. Their purple flowers resonate with the butterfly-shape lavender flowers and bring life to the border.
Hot pinks. We can see tones of pink used as the main theme within this border, with touches of purple that increase the vigor of the color. The clever use of cooling blues and whites prevents the hot pink from overpowering the border.
Washed denim. Blue is a cooling color — think of the sky and the sea and how they affect us. It can be difficult to use on its own, as it can bleach in strong sun and appear to recede in the garden against other colors. Here, the many shades of the hydrangeas blend, creating an amazing spring display.
Warm yellows. Yellows are not easy to use en masse in a garden. Here, using muted yellows from the cooler end of the yellow spectrum works as a background for the brighter colors of the euphorbias and holds the composition together.
Refreshing greens. Green is the backdrop of all gardens, yet with a careful choice of plants it can make a wonderful color-theme planting. The foliage in this border is both soothing and refreshing and makes me think of the traditional temple gardens of Japan.

What makes it better to play in a browser?
play? nothing. But you get to have this rich beautifull interface with stats, profiles teams clans tags battles tournaments accesible from the web at no additional cost.
I'm really looking forward to the implementation of private servers. I know all that's holding a few of my friends back is the fact that they have to play with the unwashed masses. It'd be great if several of us could hop on for some games against opponents we know and can laugh with.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The assassination that sparked war
Nineteen-year-old Gavrilo Princip was a troubled young man seeking a purpose in life on June 28, 1914. "Wherever I went, people took me for a weakling," he later said. "And I pretended that I was a weak person, even though I was not."
Princip was a Bosnian Serb and a member of the Black Hand, an extremist nationalist secret society, whose primary crusade was to establish a greater Serbia. The Black Hand's chief enemy was Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, or the Dual Monarchy, which in 1908 had annexed the province of Bosnia that bordered the northwest part of Serbia.
The Black Hand's leaders, like the leaders of al-Qaida who plotted the 9/11 attacks, determined a desperate act of violence would serve their cause. Their target was Franz Joseph's nephew, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Habsburg throne of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Princip and a small group were recruited to commit this act of terror, which was intended to be a murder-suicide mission.
On that fateful Sunday 100 years ago, the archduke and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, were visiting Sarajevo in Bosnia. Authorities in Vienna were aware of the various threats against the members of the royal family, but they were ignored. A week earlier as Ferdinand embarked on his train journey, he joked that his trip "isn't especially secret and I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few Serbian bullets waiting for me!"
That prediction proved all too true. As the archduke and duchess rode through the streets of Sarajevo in an automobile procession, Princip and his accomplices were among the crowd lining the streets. Suddenly one of the militants threw a bomb at the archduke's car, but it detonated too late, wounding dignitaries in a nearby vehicle as well as bystanders.
Amazingly, the archduke continued with his schedule. Later that day, he and Sophie decided to visit the wounded at the hospital. Their driver, however, took a wrong turn, giving Princip another chance to complete his mission. As the car slowed, he jumped on to the vehicle's running board and fired shots at the royal couple. They both died a short time later. Five weeks after that, the Great War began.
Princip, who was captured before he could kill himself, was convicted of the murders and only avoided the death penalty because he was under 20 years of age. He died in prison in April 1918 after contracting tuberculosis, seven months before the end of the First World War, the bloody conflict his brazen actions had "sparked."
In the past two centuries there have been other political assassinations -- Russian Czar Alexander II in 1881, four U.S. presidents (Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy), and such leaders as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. -- but none has arguably had the catastrophic ramifications as the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
As every student of history knows there is a long list of causes of the First World War. Among the most critical were: the alliance system, the arms race, empire building, nationalism and an ingrained military culture that perceived war as a legitimate response to defend a nation's prestige. Connected to this was a 19th-century credo of honour, which dictated that a gentleman or general must uphold his principles, even at bayonet point.
Still, like most major historical events, the Great War did not have to happen.
"A general war could have been avoided up to the last moment on Aug. 4 when the British finally decided to come in," suggested historian Margaret MacMillan in her recent book, The War That Ended Peace.
Instead, the leaders of the great powers made critical decisions, partly the result of a deliberate single-mindedness that welcomed the chance to put troops on the field, yet also the result of nationalist bravado, human failings and foolishness.
Ironically, as MacMillan also pointed out, though Franz Ferdinand was an intolerant bigot, he was also intelligent and astute about Austria-Hungary's future.
"It is one of the smaller tragedies of the summer of 1914," she concluded, "that in assassinating Franz Ferdinand the Serb nationalists removed the one man in Austria-Hungary who might have prevented it going to war."
Now & Then is a column in which historian Allan Levine puts the events of today in a historical context.

text: The There's Nothing I Haven't Sung About wiki last edited by mikex20 on 01/25/15 08:42PM View full history The Secret History of the Authority ends at the beginning, in the 1920s, when a young Jenny Sparks discovers what it means to be the Spirit of the Twentieth Century. There she faces her greatest challenge — which might just finish Jenny off before she even gets started. But a time-tripping friend drops in on Jenny, with plans for Jenny's future and some much-needed answers. Westminster Abbey, Sliding Albion, 28th December, 1919. Jenny marries Prince Lorenzo of Albion. King Regis arrives, furious at the marriage.After an exchange of words, Regis grabs Jenny in a fit of rage and throttles her. Jenny makes a snarky comment toward Regis then electrocutes him. Fighting between Lorenzo and Regis's guards breaks out. During the altercation, Jenny makes her escape. Jenny is rescued by Her uncle, Albert Einstein, who later shoots her when they enter the Bleed.Jenny comes around in a hospital in Berlin, and is informed that it was not her uncle Einstein who shot her, but a robot sent from Albion. Lorenzo tricked Jenny and her companions into overthrowing his father, so that he could take his place. Jenny is confused as to how she survived the gunshot unmarked, when a doctor steps forward to reveal herself. The Engineer introduces herself to Jenny, who in turn asks what the Engineer is doing in the year 1919. The Engineer pulls out a diary with Jenny's name on it, and reveals that an entry in the diary asks her to come to this time period. Jenny and the Engineer chat. The Engineer reveals to Jenny that she received some of Jenny's belongings at her funeral. The diary was among the items she receieved, as well as a note saying she had to make sure Jenny reached the end of the millennium, otherwise time and space would end. The two walk in the park while the Engineer reveals her origins to Jenny.They arrive at a rocket launch pad, and the Engineer is asked to accompany Jenny on a mission to Albion to save the real Albert Einstein. Angie declines the offer, stating she has a prior engagement with Jenny Quantum, and her Authority team in the year 2099. Jenny Quantum and her team appear, and the Engineer bids a fond farewell to Jenny Sparks, then leaves. Jenny leaves for Albion.The Carrier, 31st December, 1999. Jenny writes in her diary for the final time. She starts to recount her adventures over her 100 years of existence. The Engineer lays a rose at the grave of her dear friend, Jenny Sparks.

Low chill bluberries for AZ zone 9b Sunset 13
I am looking for a few varieties of low chill blueberries (southern highbush), that will survive in the low desert. I have a legacy that I purchased last year on clearance, that survived but I cannot say it thrived, the oneal I bought died as soon as it started to heat up, I have seen pink lemonade in stores here and read it may be self fruitful, but the varieties that would pollinate it are rabbiteye and northern highbush that will not survive here. I am interested in sweetcrisp as I have read that it is low chill and a good berry. The real issues I have to deal with are extreme summer temps and low chill hours, this winter in particular has been extremely mild.
I have the legacy in a container with peat, and plan to do the same with the others.
If there isn't much hope I would like to know that as well, I have tried to stretch zone limits on a few things before without much luck.
Jewel 250 chill hour bush but is easy to find or any of the following.....meadowlark (200), Kestrel (200), Flicker (200), Chickadee (100), Snowchaser (150) or Bobolink (200).
I have no idea how they would react to your intense summer heat though. They handle the Florida heat just fine but that is a far cry from the temps you have. I am assuming you have them potted? You may have to put them in a larger pot right off the bat and make sure the pots reflect the sun so the pot itself does not heat up. They can never dry out so anything you can do to keep the roots and soil surface moist and cool will be of benefit. Heavy light colored mulch on the soil surface would help.
Legacy is a cross between northern and southern needing 500+ hours chilling. That's not what you need.
Get some of those 200 or less hr varieties and put them under 50-60% shade cloth May thru September. With that culture blueberries are clearly doable in your area.
You do need to be concerned with alkaline water. It will kill the plants. Use rainwater or treat well water with sulfuric acid.

Yeah I bought a Legacy for zone 6a! Not good for you, but cool it has lived so far, sounds like i bought a good one! The berries are rated super high quality too. I'm excited about getting one! Southmoon and Sweetcrisp are coming too. Yet two more top rated tasting berries yeah!
All will be grown in pots. I also have three Northerns in raised beds. next year should be a good year for them. Still young, but should all produce some berries. 3rd leaf for two, 2nd leaf for one.
Thanks, yeah the Legacy was purchased at a local home improvement store for $2.00 on clearance so no big loss, I will look into some of the varieties, I know I have seen sunshine blue here locally, I will look up southmoon emerald and jewel. Another question, is it easy to propagate them from cuttings?
Can most of those even be had yet?I have Snowchaser,but it is rare.
Southmoon is rated for 500 chill hours,so it may need a little more cold days than your area can normally provide.
All the other ones mentioned,besides Legacy are 250 or less.
As far as propagating,it depends on your definition of easy.I have two different kinds of mist systems(needed,especially in your area)and get about 50-60 percent of them to root.I can provide more info if wanted. Brady
I get far less than 100 chill hours and 'Sunshine Blue' is very productive here--has been since planting six or seven years ago. I get a good crop every year. It's not the chill that would be a factor, it's them surviving your summer's dry heat. They can take heat too, but they expect the humid heat of the southeast (ever been to Alabama in July?). What I would try in Sunset 13 is some way to provide a touch of humidity from May - October and shade cloth of just enough density (25%?) to take the sharpest edge off the sunlight to prevent the foliage from scorching and the stems from sunburning. I'd also add pumice to the peat because the roots need some air lest they rot. 'Sunshine Blue' starts to push out new foliage in September so hopefully your climate cools down a bit by then so they can do their autumn growing.
Funny you mention pumice. I have been looking at that for my cacti, and I'm thinking it's better than perlite. For blueberries I'm going to try a 2-2-1 mix of peat-coir-pumice.(ph of mix is 4.2 to 5.0)
Pumice to replace perlite and coir to replace pine bark. Pine bark would work too. Coir will last longer. You could probably use small coconut chips too, but they are expensive. After 2 years change the soil. Keep it fresh. I'll dump the soil in raised beds. Perlite turns to mush after awhile. it lasts 4-5 years, but will become useless, pumice is good for about 20 thousand years. Anyway that way the additives to the raised bed are useful. The peat, pine bark, or coir are good compost, and the pumice will aerate the bed, it will not hurt, and could help. So the mixes will be recycled that way.
Yeah southmoon is out.
Maybe I will wait to explore cuttings I need the plants first.
I found a good amount of low chill varieties on the Florida Hill website anybody ever use them?
Where would you find pumice, I have seen vermiculite and perlite in Lowe's and HD, would it be there.
From my experience with Southmoon it doesn't require near as many chill hours as stated. I've had great fruit set at 250 chill hours last year. If I had to start all over I would grow 5 low chill varieties. Emerald for shear volume of good fruit and it's very low chill, almost evergreen in my location. Sweetcrisp because the fruit is hands down the best overall. Snowchaser for it's out standing flavor and very early crop. Springhigh for a very early crop and high quality fruit. Jewel for volume and great flavor. I guess I would throw in Sunshine Blue as well. The only knock I can see on that variety is it's a pain to prune cause it can over produce fruit buds in a bad way and it's very twiggy. That being said, if pruned right it is a top notch flavored berry IMO but you don't get a bunch of fruit and it's usually small.
As far as rooting cuttings, all of the above varieties except Sunshine Blue are patented so it's illegal to do. If you do, don't tell anyone about it!;) One way that I can think of to creat a humid micro climate for them would be a large kids pool with several inches of water. Place bricks or something in it to keep the bottoms of the pots out of the water and place them in the pool on the brickes. Sounds kinda getto but it works. The water evaporating will provide enough humidity in the leaf canopy to keep them happy along with shade for the brutal sun in your area.
You could use perlite to make it easy, it is a fine product. So it only last 5 years, that's longer than the peat or pine bark will last, I think pumice is better but it is expensive and hard to find. I bought some from EBay. The Bonsai people sell it. I want it to reuse soil in raised beds, it's not a big deal, more of an extreme. Perlite is fine. So 40% peat 40% pine bark or coir or premium potting soil. and 20% Pumice or perlite. All those choices will work. I determined these mixes from 2 different universities, what they found to work, and Dave Wilson Nurseries. Any combination will yield a mix that is no higher than 5.0 PH. The key is to keep it there. Alkaline water can mess it up.
I also add a touch of organic fertilizer, and trace elements, sulfur, but it is more overkill. I'm rather anal, and want to cover all angles. I also add beneficial bacteria, and fertilize very lightly but steady. I feel it's better. and I'm very particular about what fertilizers, and when to use.
The only released variety that is not yet available is Raven so yes the others are all out there. The problem is the commercial folks tend to take a lot of the new low chill varieties and vendors don't want to buy BB plants that nobody has heard of . When I was last at Millers there was every variety I mentioned and in large quantities. Island Grove sells a lot more varieties than are listed on it's website and will sell single plants though you will pay for that.

A concern
I am concerned when ordering violets on line or from ebay sources as to whether I have to worry about growers using a toxic substance on either plant, leaves or soil that would be harmful to animals . Is this a common practice or am I being paranoid?
My cats usually don't eat plant material, but you never know.
Hi katlady, you are not being paranoid. This is a good question which all pet owners should ask. It depends on the grower, but many who do use some sort of pesticide will state it in their ads. There are quite a few who I do buy from on ebay that use pesticides. Are they toxic to animals? I am not sure, but you can always contact the seller and ask.
I do not use any chemicals or toxic substances to grow my plants. But in large greenhouses this may be the only option to keep pests at bay.
Hi Katlady,
I have a drastic solution to your problem. I had a friend who always bought plants and to discourage bringing any bugs or disease into his collection, he would take off two leaves and grow the plant from scratch. His new plants were always clean and free of any toxic chemicals. After he removed the leaves he wanted he would give the plant away. Sounds crazy I know but as I said before, his plants were always clean and free of chemicals.
Fred in NJ
Because soil mealy bug is so rampant in my part of the country, I put Marathon in every plant that goes out and every plant that comes in.
I don't think Marathon acts as a systemic but I will have to mention this in my ads. Thanks for bringing up the subject.
Thank you all for your replies. It gives me food for thought. Does anybody know, on average, how long a systemic chemical would stay potent in the leaves. I could certainly keep plants on a high shelf for a time where the cats couldn't reach them. But once I repotted them, could I feel fairly certain the residue would be gone?
As you might guess, I'm an overprotective cat Mom.

The streets are "jammed with masked and costumed children making a deafening din with their penny tin horns." Some storekeepers lock their doors to keep the noisy panhandlers out while others unleash "profane lectures on the evils of begging."
Police and school officials regularly cracked down on Ragamuffins and begging. The ascension of Halloween and calls for more orderly Thanksgiving celebrations seemed to hasten the demise of the Ragamuffin traditions.
But the tradition has not completely vanished. Every October, community organizers in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, host a Ragamuffin parade.
