A Year of Projects Update - week 16


I seem to have made little progress this week compared to last, but that is because I have been completely obsessed with one project!

FO's
I do have one of these - the next hat.  I am doing these for the whole family and teachers, so I have 7 now to make as presents and this is the first.
 WIP's
I have made a little progress on both pairs of socks, but not a lot.
This is the project that has taken my time this week.  I cast on Miranda by Josee Paquin.  I am loving it, the pattern is lovely and the yarn is just delightful.  It is Madelinetosh pashmina worsted in baltic and is fantastic to knit with.
I have no more this week!

Acquisitions
No knitting related acquisitions this week (well not directly).  I purchased some peanut hottie (a peanut butter hot chocolate drink) that I tried this morning and it is gorgeous.  I also took delivery of some Christmas teas from the English Tea Shop.  I have tried 3 of them and they are all splendid so far (I have tried the gingerbread, Christmas punch and apple spice).

  3. Hats make the best gifts. And I for one, don't think you can ever have too many hats. I love the sweater color. I can almost feel the softness of the yarn. Your teas sound yummylishess! (I made that word up lol)
