A Year of Projects Update - week 36

 This week seems to have lasted several months!

That said, I do not have much to show for it.

I have done some more on my shorts, but still not nearly enough for a picture, so I shall say again, maybe next week!

I did sew a hat!


I used the free bucket hat pattern I used last year  but I  halved the brim.  It is a nice thick fabric so it is quite cosy.

Yesterday  I went to Unravel which was lovely.   I haven't been since before Covid and it was so nice to return and be able to squish yarn.  I didn't go too crazy. 
I did purchase some buttons from two different porcelain button stalls and some stationary from Katie Green Bean - who I also had the pleasure of being served by!

I did buy some yarn - to make 2 sweaters and some self striping sock yarn - I will show you those when I start knitting with them.

The day was lovely and punctuated with two stops in a coffee shop which was just lovely and I can't remember the last time I did that alone - it was nice.

And that is it for this week, I hope everyone has a lovely week - take care.

  3. Liz here…I was just reading “Knitigating circumstances” blog that she didn’t manage to make it to Unravel and I was trying to remember who else I knew sometimes went. Where did you get your self striping sock yarn from? I find it hard to find striped sock yarns.

  5. Darling hat! What a fun day to shop and buy yarn and have coffee. We have no yarn shops anywhere near here so I have to order online. I have never been to a fiber festival but I would love to go to one. Glad you had such a nice day.
