Is it just a coincidence that almost every single knitter I know is also an avid gardener? The only bad thing about knitting and gardening is that the knitting always suffers when it's gardening season, right?
Well there's not much we can do about that. I don't believe anyone has found a way to knit and garden (successfully) at the same time. I have seen people knitting while exercising though, so maybe it's only a matter of time?
For now, here's a great way for you to at least ENJOY your knitting while working in your garden. A husband and wife pair from San Francisco have started "Plant Bombing" and I'm absolutely loving it!

I used to have hens & chicks in my rock garden, but I would much rather plant them in these colorful pockets!

Heather's website has great instructions on how to make these knitted pockets. Crocheters need not feel left out... it's a pretty simple construction and could easily be done in crochet.
This is a great project for stash yarn, and a great CREATIVE gift for all of your gardening friends this holiday.

Wow, what an awesome way to use up some of those Marble Chunky leftovers that are hanging out in my stash. I love clever little things like this!
