Painting Ceiling Boards in Record Time?

We have over 100m2 of ceiling boards to paint and I don’t like the idea of applying multiple coats with a brush. A lovely person suggested we try spray paint using an airless sprayer. I’d never heard of such a thing but after a lots of research and review reading, I was sold.

Join us for a test drive of our brand new Graco True Coat 360 airless paint sprayer as we attempt to prime and paint as many boards as we can over a couple of long afternoons.

Massive thanks to Peter and Liam at Eco Construct who lent us some workshop space for this project. If you’re based in Portugal and need any kind of timber or eco-friendly building materials, do check them out https://eco-construct.pt/

Yarn Projects (crochet/knitting)

Knitting Needles

I've only just started knitting again and have had to upgrade from my original Symfonie needles (they tend to snap quite easily). I have a set of stainless steel needles from ChiaoGoo and also an ebony set from Lantern Moon.

I like both! The stainless steel was a little hard to get used to but yarn really glides on them. I like the look and feel of the Lantern Moon set too, but unfortunately they don't come in all the sizes I tend to use so I now end up switching between the two sets.

Crochet Hooks

I've tried loads of different single hooks to find the 'perfect' hook. I finally found what I was looking for in the Clover soft touch range. The hook glides well and the thumb rest is really comfortable. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available in a set, so I have a jar full of all the sizes I like to use.

Tunisian Crochet Hooks

My favourites are these from Lantern Moon, they're super comfortable and glide really well, and the best bit is that they swivel. They are also compatible with the KnitPro Symfonie hooks (these seem less sturdy but also glide well).

I also have a set from ChiaoGoo made from bamboo. These are very lightweight but I find that they can snag on some yarns (a nail file often helps to make the hook head better).
