Dawn Brocco's Life & Design Blog

Have finished the kitchen trim painting today, except for one door frame which hubby is still working on, and am just about to start on the 5 door frames and 1 window frame that is *just* in the family room!

I am also swatching yet another yarn for consideration as an alternate in the cashmere kits.

I am having SUCH a time trying to find the right yarn! The merino/silk yarn I thought would be lovely, came in. I swatched and washed it and it is too thin - it doesn't get gauge and give a good fabric, so another yarn bites the dust! I'm beginning to stockpile single skeins and hanks of yarns that I just can't use.

BUT, I just called Chester Farms again and they are finally able to get a skein of their Fine Merino into tomorrow's UPS to me! So, once again, hope springs up! They've got the lovely clear springtime, floral colors I want, as well as brights and darks. I've had their color cards since November, so this has been a long wait. I need to remind myself that patience is a virtue, except when after all that patience the end result is still not what one needs - then patience doesn't seem to be so virtuous!

Well, back to painting while there's still daylight!
