A Year of Projects Update - Week 45

A have a FO!
FO's
My Arne and Carlos socks are finished!  And delightful they are too if I say so myself.

I made up my own pattern as the yarn did everything else for me.  I tried the fish lips kiss heel  for the first time and loved it.
WIP's
My boxy is untouched.  But I made lots of progress on peeping Cowl by Joji Locatelli.
This feels gorgeous and I can't wait to get it finished even if summer has arrived here!
I have also made lots of progress on the two pairs of socks I CO last week.
Thomas's socks
and my no nylon KAL socks.  This is a yarn by the knitting Goddess and it is lovely - really nice and soft but doesn't look like it should pill too much.
Acquisitions
I broke any yarn diet I might be pretending I am on this week.  I took receipt of some 100% British wool to be the accent colours in the 2 sweaters by Kate Davies that I want to CO - Buchanan and Epistrophy (these are likely to be on my next years list so I will link there!)
While I was on the website I couldn't help but purchase some of the new cocktail sock yarn by west Yorkshire Spinners as you do.
To see what everyone is up to - join us here.

  2. The cowl is so pretty. Glad to hear you love the fish kiss heel too. I am going to be trying it toe up soon. Your new yarn is very yummy looking.
