It’s Time for the Pink Toilet to GO!

ByMAKE. DO. GROW March 9, 2024 1 min

Since December 2020 people have been obsessed with the pink toilet in our retro 1990s bathroom. After today’s video, the famous toilet will be no more.

It’s kind of crazy to think that it’s taken over three years for us to circle back to the bathroom renovation and finish what we started all that time ago.

In this video the last of the pink tiles will be stripped from the walls, the last remaining floor tiles will come up and soon we’ll be ready for running the new plumbing and all the new fixtures and fittings. Ok, I might be getting a bit ahead of myself there but we are at least moving in that direction!

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).
