Year of Projects - week 10


Well, here we are again!!   This week we are all back to school, so my knitting has severely suffered!

Thomas is into year 2 and started on Friday, and I went back on Wednesday.  I quite like the start of a new year, but I will miss the time with my boys!

Anyway, knitting...
Raspberry tart was published 2 weeks ago (my test knit) and this was my finished version after blocking - I love it.
 


I will blog about it this week as it was quite a learning curve.

I made a tiny bit of progress on my socks, but I think, despite doing all the calculations, they are unlikely to fit properly.  So I will use this one as a test, and have another go with adjusted stitch counts.

I finished off several little projects for the stall next Sunday - a pumpkin hat, a 'Mike' hat, a purse and a pumpkin garland.

So there you have it, lots of little things.  Hasn't satisfied the urge to CO though, so I need to have a good look at my queue for next week!!
Hope you all have a good week xxx

    I love your raspberry tart, it turned out well, I look forward to reading your post on what you learnt. Lots of finishes for your stall, all gorgeous. Nothing quite beats a bout of CO :)

    I definitely want to hear more about that pattern, especially how you learned from it, I find that part of the process so fascinating!

    What a great sweater! How you get so much knitting done is beyond me! You must be a speed-knitter. LOL! And with school starting and all? Amazing! Your craft fair items are darling and since you finished the sweater doesn't that count for casting on something new? I would think so....maybe even multiples as the sweater was a big project. Have a great week and so glad you made wonderful memories over the summer.
