I started my bathroom curtain last night. I'm using euroflax--I bought a whole cone of french blue. I was a good girl and made my swatch and I have decided to start keeping my swatches, so I labeled this one with the type and color of yarn, needles used, and the date. I'll come up with a good filing system for these, but I think it's a good idea that will help me 'create' later on if I have some samples to look at. I'm pretty excited about making stuff for the house now. This morning I was looking at my little hairclips and hairbands spread out on the bathroom windowsill and I thought about making a little felted box to keep them in. I also want to knit a throw out of all this yarn that my dear departed knitting friend left at my house (she died, she didn't just leave the group...she has since given me at least one knitting tip in my sleep). It's all grey yarn, but I think I can augment it with something nice that I have hanging around the house. I just need to get in the spirit of it.

that looks lovely. i have heard that is a wonderful book. that photo in the book looks like a nice pattern. also i thought of you when encountering a "cell phone wanker" during christmas shopping while you were away- it was an actual sales associate talking on the phone whom gave me the look of death for interupting him to ask for assistance
god, that's a great cell phone wanker! You know, I really wanted to hate the mason dixon book, but I love it so much. It really is fantastic.
i know. love the photos from your vaca. i am going to have to take another look at it. i had my grandmother's "complete guide to needlework" out last night and was reading up for inspiration/learnin'
Love the knitted curtain idea, but did really like the rice paper that you had hung. I passed that idea along to several friends who can't stand curtains, but needed something in the bathroom. Well, I'm off to knit another pair of fingerless mittens. Can't stop!
i loved the paper curtain, too, but it was just destroyed. I posted a picture of the curtain i sewed on my sick yoga blog. I'm halfway done with the curtain and will post pictures probably tomorrow. Great to hear from you. Send some pics of your gloves and I will post them.
