Be careful, Meglet, it is possible to spend/waste hours just looking at colours on that site planning hypothetical projects that there will never be time for (mainly due to wasting time on the internet)!

lol! I'm hopefully moving house soon so was thinking it would be helpful for room planning!

I have been planning projects today, I've bought some cream cotton to crochet a tunic for a beach coverup. Which will be too late for my holiday this year but might keep me amused on the plane! I thought a crochet hook would be safer than knitting needles, though I have flown with circulars before.

Crochet is easier when travelling I always find - fewer loops to keep track of and it's easier to start and stop.

Enjoy dreaming up hypothetical room plans!

I might start cutting things out of magazines!
Have started my tunic. I'm using King Cole cottonsoft which is softer and less heavy than the Sirdar cotton I used on another top. I like it.

I had a squidge of Cottonsoft in my local yarn shop a couple of weeks ago. It felt very nice. I have made some things in cotton that have been difficult to wear as the yarn is too wire-like for comfort. I'm looking forward to seeing your tunic as a FO.

I am finishing an extremely pink ripple blanket for the new sort-of-step-great-niece that arrived yesterday. Far too pink and saccharine for my liking but the colours were requested by the mother!

I love cottonsoft, I'm using it to make a blanket at the moment...
