My clues were bad. I meant 3 first 2 first and 5 first. 

Don't cover the 4, 8 first for me to finish... ugh what a game!

Hi Everyone -- Thanks for the clues -- this 1 was a doozy !!!  I rated it Medium -- Knit 01

Wow what a meandering game. Thanks Donna for the wonderful clues.
 I've just read that sniffing Rosemary (the herb...lol)  helps alertness and memory. Maybe I should be playing with a sprig up each nostril. Infact I think I'll just tape some under my nose and cruise around all day with a green moustache.

Good Morning..Well, on the bad side- my electric bill will be higher because of running the air conditioner. But on the good side, my water bill will be lower as I haven't had to water my plants and I even collected rainwater in a couple of buckets to give my indoor plants a drink. 
This is an interesting game - it is easy if you remember that you sent up the A first and will want to keep them clear so you can build on it.

Something's wrong. I'm low score, even for a moment, in the new format.

Your 4 got me lower, Travis. Thanks!

Great clues Donna!

Ramadan Kareem, to those who observe. Hi everyone! We only have two more days in the fabulous NYC. We're visiting the wonderful, Lynne C today. Can't wait. She is kindly looking after some of our junk for when we return.

4 worked for me.
