WOYWW 796 Cardis and new paint.

Hi all, here’s my desk and the new paints are entirely Google’s fault.  

It’s ridiculous, really. I’d commented on everyone’s desk last week and kept looking at my email to see your comments, but nothing was showing. I even did a check comment  to make sure it was working. I was feeling in a proper ‘nobody loves me’ mood so I splashed out on some new Gallo paints and a bigger palette. 

Of course, you were all there, but Google had somehow stopped notifying me. When I texted Jan, she said to go straight to comment moderation and there you were!

The paints are gorgeous and the packaging sublime. That beautiful piece of marbled Florentine paper is just a wrapper! I wanted this to be my main paint kit so I added a few more, mainly earthy tones. I missed out an orangey red so that is on order from Jackson’s who stock their paints. 

While waiting for these, I was chatting with one of my goddaughters, and she’s expecting. She has one daughter, aged nearly 5, but I remembered an easy baby pattern Jan showed us recently. 

I had one ball of rainbow wool and it’s made two baby cardigans. I just have to add buttons and press them. I had to teach myself the ‘backwards loop cast-on’ for under the sleeves, but it is very straightforward. I even made some booties! 

The colour’s not very good as I want to include them tonight. In reality the soles are lilac. 

I still want to go straight back to crocheting though! 

Bella sends purrs to you all. She likes it when I crochet. 

I’ve started a CAL but will tell you more about that another time. 

And finally…

Take care and happy WOYWW
