A Year of Projects Update - week 28

 I hope everyone had a lovely week. I had a really relaxing week and I've managed to get on with a few projects.

I finished my Stephen West socks.

I love them and can't believe it took so long to finish them!

I have cast on a further pair of Stephen West socks as a Christmas and New year project.

I have been continuing with Hitchenbrook and am now at 40 inches - just 23 to go!

I have also picked up mums last ptoject.  I salvaged it from her seat on the sofa months ago and have just felt able to start finishing it for her.

Here it is as I found it.

She had some squares she had done, so I have sewn those in and have started to knit more squares to finish it off.

And so that is that for this week - I hope everyone has a lovely new year and so will catch up again in  January  ✨️

A Year of Projects Update - week 27

 Oh my  - this month has been busy!  I cannot recount what I've been doing as it is just a blur, most of it being work related.   

Anyway,  we have broken up for the Christmas holiday and now I should be able to have more time for fun things!

I have done  little knitting.  I have done a little more on Hitchenbrook.   I didn't picture it well last time - it was just in a heap.  It is actually wrap, not a sweater - eventually it will be long enough to wrap round on itself and the bottom gets sewn to the edge- I will hopefully show you soon!

This is being knit from some yarn from John Arbon Textiles and  it is lovely, and I can knit it from memory now,  no need for the pattern.

I have also figured out a ptoject that was half finished in the hope that I can make a new cast on sometime in the holiday.   And that is one of my Stephen West socks.

I just have the bottom of both socks to do now and the toes and they are done.  I do really like them, I just ran out of steam!  Hopefully, by next week they will be completed.

I'm off to Somerset tomorrow to see dad before Christmas.  I'm just doing it in one day so then I have the rest of the holiday to relax.  

So, I wish everyone a lovely holiday and great Christmas if you celebrate ✨️🎉

A Year of Projects Update - week 24

 I didn't mean to miss last week, but to be fair, I did not have much to show for two weeks!

I still don't have much to show - I've only been working on my hitchenbrook.

I'm using yarn from John Arbon Textiles and it is coming along.

Other than this  we have been decorating the house for the holidays.   I've been baking gingerbread and putting up fairy lights!  

My older son has got us all into Stanger Things - we are somewhat late to the party, but are making our way through series 2.  So that is taking some time!

And that really is that, I hope everyone has a great week.
