There are lots and lots of opportunities to fill out paperwork in the purchase of a new house. It is kind of interesting that many lists of the causes of stress include moving, going on vacation, and financial issues. We are going through all that right now. All this is after a previous huge set of the same (moving and new job) only six months ago. We are really looking forward to settling into a routine. The house inspection will be tomorrow. I think all the changes we requested in the kitchen will be complete. We are working through the last few items required to get ready for the closing on December 28. The banks appraisal came yesterday and we were very pleased to see we got a reasonably good deal on the house based on the price of comparable houses in the neighborhood over the last six months or so. We are planning to move a few things on the 29th and possibly the 31st in the pickup, but the main move will take place on January 3 when the movers come to move the big stuff. We are very excited!
What yarn do I get for my linux scarf?
Suggested yarn and estimate yardage
Background colour: 300 g Novita 7 veljestä (light green)
[150g skein = 300m/328yd; gauge: 18×26 = 10cm/4″ on 4mm/US5-6 needles]
Foreground colour: 150 g Novita Wool (black)
[50g skein = 135m/148yd; gauge: 22×26 = 10cm/4″ on 3.5mm/US4 needles]
[Translator’s note: You’ll probably have to substitute the Novita yarns this pattern calls for. It’s usually recommended to knit illusion scarfs with a tight tension in a worsted or light worsted yarn (20-22 stitches = 10cm/4″), for instance Brown Sheep Nature Spun Worsted or Katia Diana.
Please note that Heidi used a thinner yarn for the foreground colour to enhance the illusion effect. Don’t assume from the above you’ll need twice as much background colour as foreground colour. Usually illusion scarfs use up roughly the same yardage for both. My guess based on my skull illusion scarf which half as wide is that you’ll need at least 150g or 300m/330yd in each colour, more if you wish a longer scarf.]

Wow,Ken!!!!!!! Lorena did a good job picking out the house! Or did you help too?
Let’s see if we can get exactly what they ask for. I think that should not be too hard. We can do that in the next couple of days at Michaels or JoAnn Fabric.
Thanks, Hunter. I wish I could say I picked it out, but it was ALL Lorena.

It’s really what the women think that matters,ay?
Unequivocally. My life was really quite unhappy until I figured that out.
:-p
Too bad you can’t compete, dad. No proffesionals allowed.

Oh MY!! What a lovely house. It looks like it has been there for a while…I was expecting bare ground and no landscaping. Aren’t brick homes classy looking? OK now i want some photos of the inside please!!!
Well, thank you! It is bare ground in back. It is about double the lot size of what we had in Oregon, so we really have our work cut out for us. We will put ups some inside pictures soon!
