Home Depot Can Be Fun...


We ended up picking out colors for the apartment the other day. Though the process turned out to be much longer than I expected, we were there for almost 2 hours. Victor and Ella had a blast and helped me choose which three colors will be on each of their bedroom walls. I have to say thank you to the girl who helped us pick and mix the shades while entertaining my lil' ones. You were a life saver!




January KAL
Clue #4

row 32: (k1,p1)2x, k2, p8, k1, p2, k1, p4, k2, p4, k1, p3, k1, p8, k2, (p1,k1)2x
row 34: (k1,p1)2x, k5, (p4, k1)x2, p7, k4, p3, k1, p4, k5, (p1,k1)2x
row 36: (k1,p1)2x, k2, p12, k13, p10, k2, (p1,k1)2x
row 38: (k1,p1)2x, k4, (p3, k1)x2, p3, k2, p4, k7, p7, k4, (p1,k1)2x
row 40: (k1,p1)2x, k2, p13, k1, p2, k2, p2, k1, p2, k6, p6, k2 (p1,k1)2x


Now I'm on my way back to the apartment to finish painting.
Happy knitting everyone!

Done with Clue 4. I hope we get to see your finished painting. I love painting rooms in the house.
Thanks for the heads up on the color of yarn for Feb, too. I dug through the stash today and found some pink!
Lord knows I have enough cotton that needs to be used up. It's my guilty pleasure... since it's so cheap and cheerful.

I took my 18-month-old grandson paint chip shopping once...the girl at Home Depot faired much better than Valspar Paints...they are delightful, and do share your pics of rooms. Your designs are so great, I would love to see how you've decorated the new place! Off to knit up clue #4. Tonja

Kris,

Thanks so much for this KAL! Even though I've been knitting for years & years I've never done one! I'm really enjoying this. Good luck with all of your painting, decorating & moving! : )

Kathy said...

Thank you for being so generous, especially when you are so busy! I can't imagine keeping up with this while moving apartments with two young kids.

butterflyksses said...

Thank you for the KAL. This is only my second knitting project ever, but I've been able to keep up and #4 is done. In between, I just finished your Valentine's Washcloth. I just have to block it according to your FAQ's. I can't wait to see it after that. Thank you so much. This is a great way for me to get some knitting practice.

leslie said...

I love this KAL and thanks so much for actually putting the effort into it in the midst of your move. All of us who are enjoying this KAL appreciate it. Take care!!!

Have you ever thought of doing a princess set? The glass slipper, a tiara, a wand, a coach, a castle, the clock about to hit midnight, the poison apple (ok, the last two might be a stretch but you get the idea!)

Kris Patay said...

I love the Princess set idea! I think there might be a Fairy Tale collection in the works now. I've left so many projects unfinished lately because of the move. When I sort everything out next week I'll start sketching out some designs. Oh what to choose!

I'm trying to catch up on the KAL, but the row numbers are missing in your blog posted instructions: rows 3,5,7,9,actually it's all the odd numbers. 11 is there. Maybe my eyes are messed up, but that's what I'm seeing. Any chance you could add the missing rows back? I love your website and work.

Anonymous said...

Sorry, sorry, just my mind's messed up. I see now the instructions for odd rows, spelled out in Row 11. Sorry, it's been a long week, TGIF!
