Especially the fabric pictured at left. I bought two yards of it at Repro Depot, along with a yard of this circa 1964 authentic Marimekko pattern, and this paisley thrown in for good measure (Apparently, that fabric is no longer available on the site. My apologies, and when I frame it, I’ll snap a photo. It isn’t nearly as terrif as the other two IRL)). My intention is to frame a piece of each of these for the walls of my office, which I plan on painting Sherwin-Williams’ Desire Pink. The trim is going to be Mélange Green, with accents of Knockout Orange, and Faraway Blue (think really, really pale) for the ceiling. If you go to the Sherwin-Williams website and launch the Color Visualizer, it lets you design your room with paint, looking at all different setups. It’s really cool!
I went to my Stitch and Bitch Wednesday night, the first time in months, and only my third time ever. It’s a rowdy, raucous group, a lot of fun. The only help I got for the Hallowig, however, was the thought that the bangs might be done using short rows. Definitely not worked in the round like the pattern says. I’ll keep checking Ravelry, and I may end up emailing the designer, Megan Reardon, in the end. As it is, I’ve begun decreases at the front of the wig. It isn’t going to be very pretty, I’m afraid. I’m already thinking about tinking back all the progress I made. Le sigh.
