A Year of Projects Update - week 4

So we are on our hols!  We went to do a car boot yesterday morning and made a few pennies and a bit of space.
I have some progress this week.
FO's
I finished the tea cosy and it has gone to it's recipient.
WIP's
I got totally over excited by the sheep and here are my first two!  I love them - the first was the grey one.  There were numerous mistakes with this one, not least the fact I cannot Kitchener stitch.  I have avoided it with socks this far but now I may need to learn. They have no faces as yet, but they will soon.  Daniel reckons the grey one is naked!
I have made some progress on Buchanan.  I have finished the waist shaping so now it's a few rounds working even and then onto the slow bust increasing.
I haven't touched the socks as I am taking them next week on holiday and on that note I will be posting late next week, but will post!
Acquisitions
Not as yet, but I saw a bag on Instagram and decided I could make it.  So I have bought some fabric to make me a bag and some PE bags for the boys, it should be with me soon so will show you next week.

  3. I like the checked design of the tea cozy. And those sheep! They're almost too cute for words, Lucy. :) I say almost because we've always got words. Can't wait to see any others that you make.
