A Year of Projects Update - week 6

I have FO's!  Plural!

Firstly I finished Breathing Space no. 2.

I knit this in The Wool Kitchen in merpeople.   The yarn is gorgeous and soft and I can't wait for the weather to cool down so that I can wear it. 

I also finished my shortie socks.

These are knit in leftover Dragon hill fibre yarn - the same as my sock arms sweater.  When it is cooler I will show you that they match!

So now I am working on my other WIP's as my brain doesn't function fully in this heat (its between 32 and 37 at the moment - I don't do heat!)

On that note I will sign off.  I hope everyone has a great week and I will leave you with my boys pond dipping last week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 5

Just a quick update this week as I am currently at my mum and dads.   For those of you that have been in the group a while, you will know that I usually spend the summer going to car racing meetings (the British touring car championship). Obviously  this year is a bit different - it is starting today behind closed doors and is on the TV.   So we will be watching all day!

I have made some progress this week and have brought 3 projects with me.

I am moving down the sleeves now and hope to finish this today. 

I have done a little on the socks.

And I've done some on the shawl.

And that is all for this week!  Have a good and safe week.

Year of Projects Update - week 4

I have been reasonably monogamous this week!  I say that, but I  have 2 new cast ons!

I did finish the other socks which are here.

They look a bit odd because although I followed the numbers from a dk pattern, they were too tight to start with.  I added a gusset, but they are still fairly snug to get on.  I used various scraps to make these.

As a result of finishing these, I have cast on a new pair.  

I did choose a skein to knit them out and wound it (pictured below with the cast on socks)  however, I then discovered my leftovers from sock arms that were ready to go, so decided to knit a pair of shorties first.

My other new cast on was Cornhill by Eden Cottage yarn, knit in the new base from Eden Cottage.

I am really enjoying this, shawls are not really my thing,  but I love knitting them.  I am planning on wearing this!

And finally,  the piece that I have been working on the most, is Breathing Space.

I am now on the ribbing for the body, so I'm hoping this will be finished soon!

And that is that!

We are going to visit my mum and dad this week.   We haven't been to visit for obvious reasons, since Christmas so we are really looking forward to this.  We are going for a week and not doing anything apart from walking!

I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing week.
