Been gone for a while...I was sick most of last week and then had to make a trip up to New York for an interview, so this is me trying to get back into the groove of posting regularly!:)
As I look froward to graduation and (hopefully) moving into my own place, I've been thinking a lot about how I'd like to decorate and the home goods I'd like to knit. Here's what's on my list.
A rug. I love the idea of a soft, chunky rug, and this pattern from Purl Bee is gorgeous. It's simple, but feels a bit rustic, which I love. The only problem is that the yarn they used is absurdly expensive (like, you could get a store-bought rug for a tenth of the price type expensive). If I can find a reasonable alternative, this is definitely going to be one of my first home projects.
Blankets. Everyone needs a few throws here and there. The thing is that this is another project it's easy to drop some serious cash on, but when I'm at home I'm constantly snuggled under blankets, so I think this one could be worth the splurge.
A woven stool. Ok, so it's not exactly a knitted piece, but I've been wanted to try weaving for ages, and this seems like the perfect started project — no loom required. It would be such a cool way to add some character to a room.
I'd also like to make some smaller projects, like
washcloths, potholders and placemats, which would all be easy to improvise. I won't be able to really start on any of these until I have my own place and somewhere to put them, but I like to plan projects a few months ahead. Moving day is getting closer and closer....!
