A Year of Projects Update - week 15

 So, last week went by in a blur, and I  didn't really have any progress.  The upshot was, no blog post.  Anyway I am up early this week, have a lazy Sunday planned, and have some progress to share.

First up is my lacy shoulders tee.

I am just making my way down the back and then it will be finished with a neckband.

My Dreaming of Paris socks are now coming along.  I am at the heel flap.

I am really enjoying these despite the fact that I am knitting them in all the ways I  dislike!  I prefer toe up, magic loop, short row heel and two at a time!  These are exactly the opposite!  I think it is the helical knitting which I am particularly enjoying.

We don't have much other news.  We have a new, smaller fish tank to replace our second, leaky one!  I may go out into the garden and get some more potatoes - we have a few left along with beetroot and carrots.  And we have a parent, teacher meeting this week via zoom which should be amusing!

And there we have it.  We shall settle in to watch Forest Gump in a bit and try to do some knitting.  I hope everyone has a good week and stays safe.

A Year of Projects Update - week 13

 Well last week's promise nearly didn't happen!

We had a bit of evening drama when our second fish tank sprung a leak! Anyway we are now drying out, so I can do a brief update.

I have finished the first dreaming in Paris socks but I don't have a photo.   I will show you next week.   

I have been making good progress on the lacy shoulders tee. 

Just a bit of stockinette down the back and the neckline to go.

I have been making progress on the cornhill scarf. 

Here it is whilst I was watching Stephen West this evening. 

I signed up for his colour play webinar a few weeks ago and I didn't regret it.  He was excellent - I could listen to him for hours.

And I think that is going to have to be that for a minute as I still have some cleaning to do!

A Year of Projects Update - week 12

 I'm a  day late posting this week.  I ran out of time yesterday and to be honest, there has been little progress made this week.

I have been knitting, but it has been slow and steady- which is fine.

I have made some progress on the socks, and some on the top, but not enough to photograph.   Saturday saw me doing lots of baking - bread, bread and butter pudding  and a strawberry cake.  Again no pics - sorry!

In fact the only pic I  have this week is of my getting ready for barbequeing on Saturday night!

I will be back properly next week, I  promise.  Have a great week everyone.
