Piper loves bling. She also loves purple. James C. Brett has come out with the perfect yarn.....Marble Chunky Glamor. As I do love the Boulevard Blanket pattern, I decided to use it as it is a subtle pattern and the yarn is busy. Originally, I thought I could get away with three skeins.
As Depth of Field had ordered a bag of this yarn so I could have part of it, I am glad I can buy all of it. That way, the other skeins are not lonely on the shelves.
This project is a fairly soothing no think project. I am carrying it around with me to knit as long is it is not too large to make this impractical.
Mallorie still loves horses. I could not find a pattern that I liked. Off to the drawing board! This taxed my math skills, but I have come up with something that will, I hope, work.
Sharon, Mallorie's grandma, showed me pictures of the new room. I had thought to do it either in Burrow Bulky Delicious....a delicious red or one of the horsey looking browns. After consulting with Sharon, we agreed while red might look nicer in the room....Mal likes things that are "horse colored." I am going to do this in the Fireplace colorway. The pattern is drafted and the yarn is on order.
The chart has enough going on so that I will be working on Mallorie's throw at home....alone.....maybe even without the TV or music.
As these are the largest of my planned projects for fall and the holidays, it was important to get moving on them both!
