A Year of Projects Update - Week 37

Yay, I have a FO!
I finished Hitofude and I love it.  I loved knitting it (I love a bit of lace!) and I love the yarn.  I wasn't totally sure if the shape of it would suit me, but I think it does.

I love this yarn and I have been quite saddened this week by the news that Mel (of Mellifera yarn) is stopping dying (I thought she might be as she has not updated for a while).  I know there are lots of others but I did love this yarn!!  I did indulge in some of her last skeins and she sent a bonus skein, I have yet to take photos but I'm sure I will soon, I can assure you they are lovely!
As a result of finishing this, I have not made much progress on the other projects.  I have finished one of Daniel's socks and am in the middle of the heel turn on my socks.  Again, hopefully, I will be able to post more progress next week.
I thought I would check the list!  It's been a while.

  1. Your Hitofude is just gorgeous! Suits you perfectly and is a great colour that will go with everything. The list is looking great so much already crossed off and a few bits still left to carry you through the remaining weeks. I was just thinking of YOP 6 this morning and what might go on the list!

  2. Hitofude is gorgeous and it looks like it fits and suits you very nicely. Love the yarn and Ruth's right, that'll go with everything from blue jeans to a business suit :)
