Finish One Project, Start Another

I finished painting my kitchen/dining area yesterday. Last weekend I did one wall and finished this weekend with the 2nd wall. The paint went on very well and I did 2 coats for a better finish. I used Benjamin Moore Eggshell in color "Mexicana".





Everyone in the family is happy with it and it really does "warm up" the area quite a bit.

In my last post, I mentioned a vest pattern I would like to start. Well, I got scared and backed away from it. Maybe someday. Soon. I promise. I came across the pattern below while paging through some new books at The Black Purl, my local knitting store.



I've never knit with Noro before and the store had just got in a large selection of colorful skeins of Noro Kureyon. That was enough for me to put the cabled vest on hold for awhile.



You can't see all the colors in the skeins above, but they include varying shades of purple, pink, gray, black, blue, green. I can't wait to see how they all blend together in this long vest.

Time to cheer on the Packers against the Cowboys!!

Knit on....
