There’s something to be said for hanging out in your house a lot more than you normally do. Yesterday I decided to finally fulfill a long-time ambition to sew a new curtain for my front door. Hush, I like to keep my dreams attainable. The previous curtain was a cute yellow and white small check gingham, but it was looking a bit faded. The new one is a solid bottle green, but it’s a bit boring in comparison, so today I’m knitting a lace border for it. I know, I know. Snooze city, but it makes me happy. I started off with the Wave edging from A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, but switched to my usual edging from Victorian Lace Today with some older beads from my jewelry stash for weight because I have the pattern memorized, and it makes for a fast knit. Because, of course, when you need a knit edging for your living room curtain you need it now, right?
I do shudder to think what else in my house will end up with an antiquated lace border by the time all this is through. Certainly my pillows, tea towels, bath towels, the other window curtains, my socks, the dog’s collar….his leash…my lawn mower…
