Well okay, it wasn’t red. It was a faded blue and now it’s a bright shiny new blue. Yesterday’s job was to repaint the front door. He’s not quite that shiny now that he’s dry but he does look much improved. I may paint the inside as well, early next week when I do the stairwell. During the week I did the trim and Chris’s door in the hallway. I also managed to straighten up Chris’s room so far as I was able yesterday. It’s pretty crowded in there now with all his dorm things. He’ll be home Monday and he’ll move back into the dorm the following Monday. We forgot to arrange the early move-in for him but he says Dima, his roommate, will be arriving on Monday as well.

I’m on to the gusset in the second Go with the Flow sock so I finally feel like I’m making some progress on those.  I was so encouraged that I went out yesterday and picked up some lovely soft purple cashmerino for some ThankYou socks for Cecily. I was planning to do some curvy lace socks but I’m now eyeing the Vine Lace Socks from Socks Socks Socks.
