Year of Projects Update - week 31

I don't think there is anything new this week, just progress on WIP's.
The socks are so nearly finished I can hardly bear it!!  There are a couple of flaws, but they are for me and this is my hobby!!  Items for the stall and gifts are a different matter - they should be perfect, but things I have made for myself, to learn a new skill, or simply because I wanted the item, I deal with some imperfections!!  I am not answering anyone by the way - I think I wanted to square it with myself!

 Some asked about the Fleegle heel.  This is is the first time I have done one and I really liked it - it was very easy (when I wasn't distracted by a 3 year old!), it looks a little strange but most people in the KAL found it fit very well, as soon as I am finished I will try them and judge!!  The tutorial for the heel is here.

Abate is progressing, I have separated for the sleeves and making my way through the body.

The second photo is a slightly better representation of the colour - less pink.
I have made no progress on my Fragile Heart, so no photo there!

Hope you all have a lovely week :-)

A Year of Projects - week 30

It's been quite productive this week.
I knitted the next clue of my socks.  I'm now onto the heel, we are doing a Fleegle heel - never done one myself, but I'm sure some of you have.

I CO my Abate for Daniel.  I am loving how fast this is knitting up.  If I didn't love knitting sweaters for myself so much I would only ever knit for him!  The yarn is Drops Nepal.

I made a little more progress on my Fragile Heart.  This yarn is gorgeous - it is one of Mel's yarns at Mellifera yarn on Etsy.  It is a silky sock and is devine!

And that is about it.  I suspect that this next week I will only work on the socks ad little else.  We have a busy couple of weeks - lots of parties to go to and Thomas' party next Saturday, swimming lessons, parents evenings etc.

Love your Library - post 3

Since finishing the sweater (Raspberry tart - seen here.) I have been furiously knitting my socks, so have made little progress on anything else.

I have managed to CO Abate for Daniel and I've made a little progress on Fragile Heart.

So my stash of patterns have been used a little.
My stash of yarn has faired less well!  I took possession of some lovely yarn from De rerum natura - Gilliatt to make another sweater.  The only other problem is that I don't think I have the right pattern for it, so may have to buy one!!
