Year of Projects Update


Well bauble knitting week has gone very well!  However, I will need more bauble knitting weeks to make enough - they were very enjoyable so this is no hardship.  This week I shall designate wreath knitting week!


I have also made a little progress on the sock and my second raspberry tart, but no pics as the progress is not noticeable.

I blogged in the week about my new project here.  This is my whole outfit project to go to my SIL's wedding.  I will add it to my YOP list.  I have already bought the pattern for the dress and some fabric to make a muslin.

I have actually got myself ready for an epic sewing session next weekend when I intend to make all of the following fabric pieces into; a wrap dress, a tie top, 2 project bags and the start of a quilt.  Well that is the intention!

I also think I have settled on Fragile Heart by Boo Knits as my shawl and I have bought some yarn from Mellifera yarn to possibly make it with - some silky sock.

Well that is about it - my husband is cycling in a charity cycle today so I will be off to provide back up!!  Have a good day.

  6. Whoa Nellie! You are my role model! I love how you want to make everything yourself....I am the same way except in a much slower mode. I love your little Christmas ornies and also your patterns for dress and shawl. I've been wanting to make underwear but more substantial than what you showed! LOL! At my age I want as much coverage a s possible! Ha! Ha! I can't wait to see your progress and I'm so glad you added it to your YOP list as I love to see sewing, quilting,cross stitch...whatever!
    Oh, the cake too? I would have to learn that and it's something I've always wanted to learn. You go girl!

  9. You are starting all things! That's awesome. Fortunately I seldom get sewing urges ... especially since I found a dressmaker who makes things cheaper and better than I ever could!
