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.

  2. Your dress is great. Looks very comfy too. The sock is very interesting. But then, it is stephen west. I wouldn't expect anything else from him.
