I thought I would post some progress pictures (ehem, sp).
First the start of the Angelica sweater, I used hpy merino that was the last of the crack yarn in my stash but I just couldn’t get the gauge to work the way I wanted it to so I scrapped it & went to some Adrienne Vittadini yarn that I have in my stash
Next is the round rug for Sadie’s room redo~
Her room is going to be pink, white, black. The pink of this yarn is quite a bit more bright than I could get with my lighting. So here is the comforter that is coming soon.
I love it! Love it! Love it!
It’s a bed in a bag so you get all linens in the picture! Fantastic!
I will make the rug about 6′ in diameter. I am hoping the texture of the boucle yarn doubled will make it a bit like chenille once washed & I may even starch it a tiny bit but we’ll see how solid it comes out. I am using a worsted weight boucle cone yarn I got off ebay doubled on size 8’s. It’s pretty solid but still soft. I am doing random black and gray stripes through it also to bring it into the room decor even more.
At Target’s holiday clearance they had a ton of girly pink, black and fuschia items for $.25. Ribbons that I will use on her curtains, purses that I will decorate shelves with. Cut glass mirrored items. It will be very parisian and fun. I need to go find a really rad lamp at ross to go next to her bed! It will be very fun to do the whole room over. We are even painting her armoire and bed again. Whew! I sweat thinking about all the work involved but she is getting older and defenitely deserves it!
I am off to knit until George gets home from East Beach & volleyball. Then we’ll do some home improving junk!
Enjoy your Saturday!
