A Year of Projects Update - week 15

 Another week goes by!  Last weekend was lovely as we watched our favourite driver win the touring car championship!!

Anyway, back to normality - I  have been working on my Joy Cardigan this week and am now on the sleeves.

I'm knitting this in John Arbon Textiles yarn which is more green than the photo!  I'm loving this and it hopefully shouldn't take too much longer.

I am off walking today.  The first big walk since my knee injury.  So hopefully,  it should be ok!  I'm going with 2 friends,  so it should be a great day.

I hope everyone has a great week 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 13

 Oh I nearly missed posting today!  Not that I have been doing a lot today...

I have been working on my Joy Cardigan by Veera Valimaki. 

It is the only thing I have been working on.  I'm using a John Arbon Textiles yarn. 

I also went into the garden and dug some potatoes 🥔, it's one of the only things growing in the garden this year.  That and beetroot!

I do have a pile of fabric waiting for me to turn into some tops - I will probably stick to my now tried and tested Freya pattern. 

It's very short this week - next week I'm testing my knee with a walk and pub lunch.

I hope everyone has a good week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 12

 No update last week as I went to Goodwood in my two handmade dresses!  Unfortunately,  I forgot to take any photos,  so you will just have to take my word for it!

This week I have put in some rows on my Joy cardi by Veera Valimaki,  but again, no photos 😅 

I have been doing something though!  A couple of years ago I knit the festive yoke pullover by Skeindeer knits as a dress.  It was fab, but it was not that flattering.   I realised I was never going to wear it, so I decided to cut it in half and turn the top half into a sweater.

I just adding the bottom ribbing as you can see.  This should be easily ready for Christmas and I may turn the bottom into a cushion cover!

And that is all I have done!  

I hope you have a had a good week 💓
