A Year of Projects Update - week 29

 And another week rolls past.

I  missed an update last week - I just seem to be running out of time lately!  Lastly I went for a hike with a couple of friends and today my husband, the boys and I went to Portsmouth to do some shopping for our eldest birthday.

As a result I have not made much progress on many projects, but have finished my first Stephen West socks.

They are a little bit big but they will be good as walking socks and next month I will make a size down!  I love how they look - I used a stash yarn from Dragon Hill studio and a very old skein from Mellifera yarn.  I am now looking forward to the next months offerings.

And that is all I have been working on - I did go for a hike last week  so I will leave you with some pics from that!!

A Year of Projects Update - week 27

 This has been a lovely new year week.   Exactly as it should be spent with family and friends and doing lots of relaxing!

I have finished the wearable muslin of my Gertie dress.

I have hand sewn this which is my preferred technique and have now slightly altered the pattern pieces so that they fit.  I may do another similar with stash fabric before I make a couple with new.

I have also progressed on my desk top set, but have no photos of that.  I haven't worked on the set for a few days as the first pattern in the Stephen West year long sockalong came out.

I am working on these concurrently as my preferred method is two at a time.  I am loving the process so far!

I am using two stash yarns from Dragon Hill yarn and Mellifera yarn.

I went for a lovely walk with a couple of friends along the South Downs on Friday which was very good for the soul!

And it is back to school tomorrow 🙃 so I am expecting a slow down on my projects.

Anyway I hope everyone has a good week.
