A Year of Projects Update - week 40

Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

 I feel like I have gone back in time!  I must have got out of sync with my weeks somewhere!  Anyway, even though I thought I had done week 40, it seems I haven't!

I have only been working on one thing this week, and that was Elsk, my dress.   I am knitting this from John Arbon Textiles yarn and have nearly finished the body of the dress.

I have also managed to get out into the garden this week and do some digging.  I have got some seeds started and am now ready for the potatoes!

I did some foraging this week and got some wild garlic which I have made some pesto with.  I gave yet to use it, but the bit I tasted was lovely.

It is my birthday tomorrow and I will be going walking and then we are out for dinner.  Otherwise, it is a fairly busy week, after a quiet one last week.  I am out next Sunday  but hopefully,  I will be able to post before I go out.

I hope everyone has a good week and holiday period.

A Year of Projects Update - week 40

 At risk of being really boring, the only thing I have worked on, is my Elsk.  I am knitting this with leftovers and John Arbon Textiles yarn.   I am coming up to the split for the sleeves - just a couple more inches!

This is all I have been doing!  We have had a few days of sun this week and this weekend has been nice - I didn't garden yesterday, but hopefully,  today I should be able to do some work out there.  We are on our Easter holidays from Friday, so hopefully,  I should be able to get a bit more done next weekend.

Anyway,  that is it for this week, I hope everyone has a great week 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 39

 This is going to be particularly short and sweet - I have done very little apart from work on Elsk.

Therefore,  the photo is the same, but Elsk is a little longer!

I think I'm about 7 inches from the sleeves!!

Otherwise, we have had a couple of days of nice weather,  and so, I did do a little work in the garden.  Hopefully,  we will have a few more nice days in the coming weeks, so I will try and spend more time out there!

And that is that,  I hope everyone has a good week. 😊
