A Year of Projects Update - week 40

The clocks have gone forward today, and it's mothers day.  I think that's a bit rude!  One hour less to get everything done!!
Anyway, I have a cup of Grannies Trifle tea and I have a moment to catch up with an update.
I have no finished objects this week, but I have made a fair bit of progress with my projects.
I have finished the body of the Grass River tunic.  I only want to do short sleeves and I have the crossover neckband to do, but I don't envisage that taking very long.
I have also finished the first half of Nasreen. And I have now started the second half. Again this didn't take too long so I should be able to get through this quite quickly, then I only have the finishing to do. 
I had started Daniels bee socks last week and I am now more than half way along the first sock as I have completed the heel.  I almost never knit socks one at a time now, but the cake was so nice I didn't want to ruin it.  I just hope I have the motivation to knit the second one!
I also got some more yarn from De Rerum Natura in France this week to make two sweaters from Interpretations 6. I want to make the community tunic and understated - both by Joji Locatelli
I hope everyone has a great week.
Next week is due to be a bit busy what with one thing or another.  I don't think I will be able to post on Sunday, but I will see what I can do!

  3. I checked out those patterns and thought the 2nd looked like a v-necked boxy and then noticed in her pattern comments that’s exactly what it is. I’ll be interested to see how that looks. Cute bumble bee socks.

  6. Happy Mother's Day, Lucy! The projects you have on-the-go are lovely and the community tunic, in particular, looks stunning for the future. Looking forward to seeing the current ones finished and these new ones started.
