A Year of Projects Update - week 29

I finished Raspberry tart!

Don't look too closely at the final cables - I was knitting whilst tired and missed a couple.  But it is for me and I don't mind!  I love it already, the colour is fabulous - it is merino DK in Cerulean by Mellifera Yarn.

My socks are coming along nicely - I really like using DPN's but I have been watching progress in the KAL and think I might try 2 at a time on 2 circular needles next time.

 I have also CO my Fragile Heart for my wedding outfit - I am thinking there may be a blue theme here!

Love your Library - post 2

Yay, it's finished!  Raspberry tart that is !

 I apologise for the photos - I had to take them after work and the sweater is in the bath blocking!! The colour of the sweater is a much more intense blue.
I love knitting sweaters, but they take me forever to complete, this has taken about 3 months and the last 3 weeks, I haven't really worked on anything else.
I have been knitting clue one of a mystery sock KAL, but that's about it.

I am now ready for a CO frenzy!!  All from my library.
I have CO Fragile Heart by Boo knits.

I will CO Abate for my youngest (a small sweater will hopefully progress much quicker!)
And I have CO the second square of a blanket from my library of magazines.

The square is from stash, but the other two projects are being knitted from specially purchased yarn, so don't think it counts as stash!  Also I noticed that De rerum Natura has a sale this week so I had to buy more Gilliatt!  I will try harder next week to knit from stash and not add to it!

Linking up with Snapdragon crafts (see link in side bar) and KCCO

Year of Projects Update - week 28

Well I have knitted away at my Raspberry tart and I am nearly finished.  I just need to do a few more rounds on the cuffs, and I think I should finish today.

I haven't been totally monogamous - I find it so hard to be now.  A year ago I would hate to have more than one project on the go, but now I love the choice.  So I started a mkal with Maria Rosa Knits Away on Ravelry.  This is a sock KAL, since I want to knit a few this year.  I have got off to a good start and see no reason why I won't have finished the first clue by Wednesday next week.  I have included a picture this week as it is just the toe so gives nothing away.

I have also nearly completed a new fox purse, as I sold the last one.

Today I'm hoping to finish all of these projects, complete a skirt (Delphine by Tilly Walnes - I love this fabric) and then to cast on something new that is in my library.  I'm thinking Fragile Heart next and maybe an Abate for the boys!
