Mondays


Monday

I've solved my wedding blanket problem. I've been wanting to do a second -- or maybe it will be the only, we'll see - for the wedding in March. Her favorite color is orange and secondary favorite color is blue. I've tried many, many different yarns, color combos, etc., for weeks. Last week, I saw a YouTube vid of combining together the Caron Latte yarn (my favorite and is ombre) with a YarnBee yarn (what I had finally chosen as the yarn I wanted to go with but the combinations weren't working). But the video had the Caron Latte just be cream all the way through and that wasn't working exactly for me either. But THEN! I combined the cream Caron with the cream YarnBee; the Caron orange/red/beige with the orange YarnBee for a through-color of orange; and the blue ombre Caron with the dark blue YarnBee for that through color. It worked! 

So I have two projects to get done - one in February and one in March. 

I've been continuing in THE WAY OF KINGS by Brandon Sanderson. I'm at page 828 which is 71% of my edition. 

I started to watch a new YouTube reactor. He's doing the NCIS series, starting from the beginning. They're at, what, season 20 now? He's British, older gentleman, and he tries to solve the crime of the week along with the story. I joined his Patreon so I can watch the whole reaction, not the edited one.

So that's what I'll be doing tonight. Crocheting, watching vids, and reading. No sprints tonight. Reading chapter 16 in CHRISTMAS AT GLITTER PEAK LODGE Advent calendar bedtime story read-aloud.

Have a good day

Much love,
