New work room table...and a 6' sample board to fill
Needed a table a gate leg so i can fold it away a bit...local second hand shop had 2 in
Picked a solid Oak with painted legs...heavy or what!
started a second unfinished project (on the table) as I ran out of yarn to finish the Alpaca flowers
then found a small ball of it so I can make a few more flowers but more yarn on it's way
I knew if I put a cushion underneath some one would find a new place to sleep
New 6' sample board to fill,
using the 15 minute rule I will soon empty all the bags of samples to clear the floor space a bit

CHALLENGE 2016: with a 15 minute commitment a day over a year
It's a Blanket...I really didn't think i could commit to do a blanket in 15 minutes a day but after thinking wrap and then finding that using the close 'v' stitch it would end up about 12' 2" long.....bit over the top
So over night I gave it some thought and its now a blanket, same stitch, same yarn but made in 4 approx. 3' squares one for each 4 months
mock up to show the idea

A COLOUR EXERCISE: Temperature project, not easy to pick the colours
Trying to decide on colours for a Temperature/mood, blanket/scarf...was not easy but very interesting
I ended up with 4 seasons, each having a version of most of the colours
Very personal and some shades are missing from each of the groups, this wasn't the same as OH would pick, so i guess it would be different for you too..but certainly an interesting and helpful exercise to do
WINTER
SPRING
some greens missing
SUMMER
some blues missing
AUTUMN
a particular shade of orange need here too
Now to pick 21 colours, for the UK
which colour for which degree
below zero - 30+ degrees?
1: below zero..white or cream
2: 1\2 deg
3: 3\4 deg
4: 5\6 deg
5: 7/8 deg
6: 9\10 deg
7: 11\12 deg
8: 13\14 deg
9: 15/16 deg
10: 17\18deg
11: 19\20deg
12: 21 deg
13: 22 deg
14: 23 deg
15: 24deg
16: 25 deg
17: 26 deg
18: 27 deg
19: 28deg
20: 29 deg
21 30+ deg
below zero has got to be white or cream, still working on making a decision for the others...can i pick from each of the groups as the day happens?
Not sure yet...
so for now its a record of temperature for each day.
JAN 1st 5 degrees grey but bright
JAN 2nd 8 degrees grey but bright
