The mess that is my house
Mmm… so “Cheesylove” is relaxing on the couch at home while I’m at work on a Saturday. Actually, it’s been a great Saturday so far. We dropped in on my client’s open house this morning: it’s The Grand Ballroom in Richmond. They have just moved from their old studio to a brand new building that they constructed themselves which solidifies their place as the the largest ballroom dance studio in Western North America. It’s 13,000 square feet now and just amazing.
So, yes, here’s the tubular neckline-in-waiting:



On the dining table now is a pile of Jo Sharp tweed that is being swatched and re-swatched and re-swatched for a scarf for my dad. I was thinking to do the “Here and There Cables” from the new Scarf Style book, but I started on needles that were too small, so the cables look tight. I also tried the first few rows of the Irish Hiking Scarf, but I want something that is reversible…. So I think I’ll end up doing the “Here and There Cables” but on larger needles (maybe US 9?).
Mmm, and being in Richmond this morning, I had to (of course) stop by Michael’s. We picked up some Patons Classic Wool in Burgundy and Old Gold for my DH’s Harry Potter scarf! Originally, I had wanted to pick up some of this yarn in Leaf Green to make the “Backyard Leaves” scarf (also from the book) but they were sold out! This may be just the excuse to order some online!
your cheesylove looks fantastic! and love that green tweed.
Thanks Froggy! I love that green tweed too…so much that I wanted to buy it for myself! But all of Jo Sharp’s colours are always so nice — it was embarrasingly difficult to decide.
Thank you for visiting my blog and for the compliment regarding Eloise. I love your blog. Simple & Elegant. I want some of that Beef Bourguinon. What a great husband!! I think I need a Dutch oven now. Thanks!
I love your sweater with the hearts. The hearts must be Angora. Yummy!
Mmmm… good food and good knits, what more could a girl ask for? Cheesylove looks adorable and the half-hearts make it cuter
Your mess is not as bad as mine. We don’t have a dining table as my blocking board is sitting on it. And I have 2 huge Ikea wire racks filled with junk (um, mostly knitting related). I don’t have guests over anymore.
