A Year of Projects Update - week 40

 I've not posted in a while.  Unfortunately,  the last month has been quite hard and posting took a back seat.

My dear mum, unfortunately,  took a turn for the worse,  having fought cancer for a year, and lost her fight last week. 

There are obviously lots of things to be done, but at the moment I am home for a bit, waiting for the next set of arrangements to kick in.  

I have done a bit of knitting this last few weeks.  I have finished my February socks from Stephen West. 

I really enjoyed these and used a lot of stash!

I gave also started the March socks.

These are being knit in some more stash yarn from Stranded dyeworks.

I have done a bit on my vest, but not too much to photograph.

It is also my birthday today, so I went on a lovely hike over the Seven Sisters - the cliffs on the south coast of England.

  1. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I too lost my father to cancer about a week and half ago. May the memories you cherish with her uplift and support you during this time.

  2. I am so sorry for your loss. It's never easy losing a parent. I lost my Dad to cancer many years ago. I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

  3. I am so sorry about your mum. Cancer is so cruel. What a terrible blow for you and your family. Wishing you strength as you work through this loss. Hopefully knitting gives you a little distraction.
