Back to our regularly scheduled knitting: Baby Sweater done!
But, before that, you can see some of our rooms here. The rest of the paint colors are very light shades, gold, lavender, taupe.
Now, the good stuff. Rebecca, I need your snail mail, I know I had it once, but who knows where it is now. Email me if you have my addy, but if not, message me on Ravelry. Do I dare post a photo that she can't avoid seeing? Or do I just provide a link and then let her decide whether to peak? I am horrible at keeping secrets, so I will provide a link. Details: Baby Cashmerino yarn, my baby fav! Pattern is Sirdar Bolero #1646. I went out to get the button today, was afraid I wouldn't find it. I have used that one before and thought I had leftovers. I knew it would match.
And man, were those buttons expensive. $36.00 trip! OK, so I found some pottery that just had to come home. I just knew they would go with the colors in the new house! We'll see how long before Hubster realizes they are new. I also picked up some beads to use with my new Heritage yarn. I need to drag out the yarn and match them up, but I think they will work. I need something bright to contrast. Whatever you do, avoid Joann's for your buttons. They are way over priced!
So, now I need to finish up the secretary clogs, and then what? Hmm, I should have the new laceweight tomorrow. I have the Twinings pattern. I could make the smaller size, but I would prefer the larger size. I could order another skein of the Classic Elite Silky Alpaca. Or, I could stash dive, which I already did, and use the Cashwool I have in denim. 1460 yds matches the larger stole size. But can I last through that larger size? Decisions. And what about the 3 projects that are sitting in the closet. I left them out of the storage so I would have something to work on. So why do I keep looking at the stash on Ravelry and dreaming of other knits? Of which I doubt I could find the patterns since they are packed away. Who knows which box they are in!
I guess I should just stick with the ones I have going and try to abstain from the startitis virus.
Thought for the day: I am so blessed to have some of the best knitting buds. There's more than one, so I can usually find a group to knit with most anyday. Ain't life grand!
