A Year of Projects Update - week 24

 Gosh the weeks are flying by!  I don't have a great deal to show for it crafting wise.  So this will be a very quick update!

I did finish my socks for mum's cracker gift.  And, as I had some wool left, I have started a new pair for myself - these will have contrast heels.  The yarn is a Christmas skein from Lay Family Yarn. 

I also had my Christmas nails done yesterday!

Not the best picture but they are blue and green and sparkly!!

And that is about it for this week.  Next week we will be preparing to visit mum for Christmas  but I'm sure I can squeeze in a post.

Hope everyone has a great week 😊 

A Year of Projects Update - week 23

 Did not mean to miss two weeks!  School has been really busy in the run up to Christmas and I just ran out of time the last two weeks.  I have been able to do some crafting though.

I have been chipping away at my mum's cracker socks!

I have home made crackers and this is what I will put in hers!  I have turned the heel, sk just the leg to go.  The yarn is Lay Family Yarn from a couple of years ago.

I have also been doing a bit on my Desk set Vest.

This is being knit in de Rerum Natura yarn that I bought from YAK in Brighton a couple of weeks ago. 

I also bought fabric and made myself some trousers.

These are the Bliss trousers by Fibre Mood.  Sewn by hand as is my preference.

It's been somewhat windy here the last couple of days so I haven't done much else this weekend.  I hope to make mince pies later, but it's all inside stuff today!

I hope everyone has a great week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 20

 Despite a tough week at school I  managed to get a bit done this week and I had a lovely weekend 😊 

I finished the Christmas socks.

I am very happy with these, and promptly started on another pair for mum as her cracker gift!  These were from a Little French Meadow yarn and the new ones are from Lay Family Yarn. 

I also started my Desk set Vest by Squidney knits.

This is Ulysse by de Rerum Natura and was the yarn I purchased from YAK in Brighton.  I also got fabric from Ditto fabric which I will share when I start the project - hopefully soon!

I had a lovely time in Brighton it was nicely autumnal and very relaxing.

Anyway,  til next time!  Hope you all have a great week!
