Progress and Paintings and Pirates, oh my!!

Today I took some paint and canvas and made this:

 

to brighten up the walls of our new house. The funniest thing is that the paint is called Pirates Patch - not really something you’d expect to be pink!

 

The other colours on the paint chip are Eleanor, Parraweena (??), and Flower Blossom. Strange but true. I will make some more of these in chocolate and teal and orange and green and decorate the whole house with them I think. At a few dollars each ($8 for the canvas, $3 for the paint) they are a cheap and interesting way to decorate I think!

In knitting news - I’m up to the repeats in my Clapotis:

 

and I bought a circular needle today to continue knitting. Fun!

  1. Hi Em,
    The painting looks great! The orchard yarn looks completely different knitted up than I thought it would, but I love it! My yarn arrived a couple of days ago so I’m hoping to start this week. wooohooooo

  2. Hi Em,

    Love your blog - you have some interesting links to knitting projects. All I get time for is scarves these days. I keep meaning to get to KTOG sessions, but it doesn’t seem to happen - ah well :(
