Post Christmas Knitting and Painting

My husband is retired now, and in the middle of painting the walls of the bedroom. He says he is going to remodel the whole inside of the house. *yay*  So far at only days into retirement he is working at a breakneck pace like he is at work.

I’m thinking of making the bottom design darker blue. More on this later…..Swatching now.. Happy Knitting!!
