A Year of Projects Update - week 24

It's been a busy week.  I am hoping that this next week will be slightly quieter before heading off to mum and dad next sunday.
First up is knitting.   My "honey bee dance" socks by Helen Stewart.
Now, if you have looked at the pattern and you take a look at the pic above you may notice they look nothing like each other!  This is down to two things (mainly the second reason).  Firstly,  I like to knit socks to up, so I  switched the pattern round and always intended to knit them upside down.  The second reason I found out this week once I had got to the first motif.  I was trying to find instructions in the pattern for making the bobble and realised I couldn't find them because I had two patterns with only the 2 pages of what I thought was the honey bee dance socks.  So I looked the pattern up on rav, which was when I realised I am actually knitting the astrantia socks!  So there you go - they will continue to be known as my honey bee dance socks but they aren't.
I've been making progress on my dust of snow wrap but I will show you next time.
In the week we visited glow wild which was held in the ground of wakehurst place (this is a branch of kew gardens if you know the garden at all).


I will leave you with a couple of pics from there.  Hope you all have a great week.

  1. No matter what pattern you are using for your socks, they are pretty. Maybe your should just call them Lucy's special honey socks.

  3. Whatever you end up calling your socks, they are pretty. I'm impressed that you can knit a pair of socks upside down from the way the pattern is written. :)

  4. Wow I wish I had the skill to switch a pattern round, I’d like to try Hermione’s everyday socks toe up one day. I think I saw the Kew Garden lights on Dunderknit’s Blogmas post, very pretty. The socks will be lovely, no matter what.

  5. The astrantia/honey bee dance socks look lovely whichever they are. And the lights at the garden look very festive.
