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!!
Linking up with KCCO and Snapdragon crafts.

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.
