A Year of Projects Update - week 20

And yet another week flies by!  I've been quite busy at work this week so progress has slowed down.
I have mainly worked on Bluejay and have made good progress on that.  Here it is as of this morning.

I have finished the body and am now on to the hood.
I also did some work on my socks and have knitted 2 quick baby hats for the first Xmas craft fair next week.
This week will probably be much of the same (busy!!), but hopefully I will knit up some baby booties to go with the hats for the stall and finish Bluejay - that is the plan.

A Year of Projects Update - Week 19

Back to work this week after the half term break, but I still feel I have made reasonable progress.  I have, as I like, lots of projects on the go - so here they are.
I have started the sleeves on Rhombing Around and I am now trundling through the short rows.

I haven't worked much on my socks but they have progressed a little.  Love this yarn, it is by Skein Queen.

I am onto the stockinette section of the tank top, so this is my mindless tv knitting at the moment.

And what started as a test knit has morphed into a knit a long as the designer wanted to release the pattern for the Indie gift along.  I got an advance copy of the pattern though so I am already onto the body section.  It is Bluejay by Jennie Santopietro.

To see how everyone else is progressing please see this thread.

A Year of Projects Update - week 18

Having cast on all the projects in the week, I have made reasonable progress!
First up is Rhombing around - I'm pleased to report I have CO the body - hurrah!  I had to take a certain artistic licence as I feared I may run out of my main colour.  I need a little for the arms, but now I should be ok.

After much umming and ahhing and starting other patterns I settled on Waving lace by Joji Locatelli.  I am nearly at the end of the bottom bit of lace.

I started a new pair of socks, two at a time again as this makes me happy!
Pattern is Cuboid by Claire Devine - I wanted some reasonably straightforward socks that I can knit mindlessly!

Otherwise, we went to a theme park on Thursday to see the animals (my boys aren't thrillseekers - yet).

We carved the pumpkins and went to a party yesterday.  Today we are off swimming.

Have a good week, to catch up with more see this group.
