This will be a surprise to everyone that knows me. Something new is on the needles. Not surprised? No, I didn’t think so. You get three guesses to figure out where I got the pattern. If you guessed Victorian Lace Today, you’d be right.
This is the beginning of what she calls Large Rectangle in Spider Net. The pattern calls for Knit One, Crochet Too Douceur et Soie and size 4.5mm/US 7 needles. I’m using Alpaca Cloud in Peppermint and a 3.75mm/US 5. Mine will be smaller than it’s supposed to be, but I’m okay with that. The yarn is so soft. I can’t wait until it’s done and I can wrap up in it.
I have finally decided on a paint color for the bedroom. I’d been making trips to Sherwin Williams, having them mix samples of different colors. What would look light on the paint chip would end up looking too dark once I got it on the wall. I went back the other day and whined about not finding a color I was happy with. One of the guys suggested a beige and showed me the paint chip. “Fine, just mix up a sample and I’ll try it.” When I got home, I took a closer look at the color name.
I do believe that’s a sign.
The Man is going to be home this weekend, woohoo! Today will be spent making the house look like I’ve kept it neat the whole time he was gone. I like to pretend that he’s a bigger messer than me, no need for him to know the truth.
