I FINALLY came to a decision about something I have been wrestling with for about four months.

I have a pattern for a cabled hooded cardigan called The Central Park Hoodie. Its well within my capabilities I think, its just a one twist cable straightforward type thing, and I decided to knit it in Rustic 12 ply from Bendigo Woollen Mills.

I was tossing up the colour. I love pink, I wear a lot of pink and there is a pink shade called Wineberry. I looked on Ravelry and there aren't many projects in this colour. I thought maybe it was a bit 'too' pink. But I do love pink, I like knitting with it and I like wearing it and I think that would encourage me to finish it.

I have the shade card from the company and I would look at it at least once a week trying to decide if I should go for it.

But then there is 'Damson' which is a deep purple. I have been in a purple mood for ages and ages. There is another Central Park Hoodie on there in that colour and its beautiful. Very practical.

So, dilemma dilemma. I thought I 'should' order the Damson, but I really 'wanted' to order the Wineberry.

Now, I know you think I am going to say that I ordered both, but I didn't. NO.

I ordered the Wineberry.

Thank god that decision has been made. My life is so stressful, tee hee.

Speaking of stress, I thought Baden had done a poo on the floor before, the light in here isn't good and I looked down and saw a brown mass on the floor. He was having some nappy free time and I just thought the worst had happened. My heart skipped a beat. I said to him, "oh Baden did you do a poo on the floor?" and he goes "no. Baden did a wee".

I said with quite a bit of relief "Did you do a wee on the floor?" and he goes "No, did wee in the toilet".

Oh. Good!

I looked again and it was his brown plastic dinosaur I was looking at on the floor.

I am getting old.
