A Year of Projects Update - week 36

 I've made some progress this week.  Still finishing the socks but I've been doing some of the vest as well.

I have turned the heel on the Stephen West socks and am now making my way down the foot.

These are part of the year long sockalong with Stephen West and are made with stash yarn. 

I have also made some progress on the vest and have now nearly finished the back.  

This is from an old Pompom magazine and is using yarn from John Arbon Textiles. 

I haven't done a lot else, have read some of the Julia Bradbury book and have a couple more walks to read - then onto the Ruth Jones book.   I don't think it will be a case of me not having to renew but you never know!!

Anyway that is my week - hope you all have a good one!

A Year of Projects Update - week 35

 Another week has flown by and very little progress has been made by myself!  I did a little on my socks this week 

I have done the heel flap and turn on one and will do the same on the other today.  These are the second in the Stephen West series so I now need to get a move on if I am to get to the March socks in good time.

I have done nothing else of note.  I walked go ghe library yesterday and picked up some books.

I want to make time to read these this month so let's see how I get on with that!

And that is that for this week.  I hope everyone has a good week and hopefully I will fit a bit more in this coming week!

A Year of Projects Update - week 34

 I'm just back from a walk with Daniel this morning.  So I've changed and am enjoying a nice coffee whilst doing a bit of knitting.  It's also the end of the half term break, which gas been fairly busy but a nice break nonetheless. 

I have started the February Stephen West socks since I last posted and am making my way through them - hopefully I will be finished by the end of the month. 

These are using up several minis and leftovers which us the intention for all of these socks ☺️

I have also been plodding away on my Windlass vest and I am nearing the lace section and shaping for the arms 

I am knitting this in yarn from John Arbon Textiles.   

And that us all the knitting.  I intended to get some sewing ready but time got away from me.  I did, however, manage to get out in the garden to clear some brambles and I have got a selection of seeds on the go.

And that truly is it.   I hope everyone has a good and relaxing week x
