Year of Projects Update - week 34

We have had such a lovely week.  Me and the boys went to Somerset to spend the week with my mum and dad.  It meant we were able to relax and do very little for a few days.  I did, however, manage to fit in a fair bit of knitting.

I finished Abate - Daniel loves it, and, although the arms are a bit long, he has worn it lots.

I finished the bag - I just need to find the right handles now to complete it.

Most excitingly though.... I have made good progress on my Christmas jumper!!  This was supposed to be finished this last year, but I hardly started it.  Now I have finished the bottom ribbing and the first colourwork part, and am making my way up the body.

Very exciting stuff!

I have also finished my Coco this morning, which was so easy and straightforward I am very tempted to change my mind and have this as my wedding outfit.  I know it looks a little like a sack here, but I think it looks better IRL!!

As a result of completing a couple of projects I have CO some more!  I have CO Aiken by Andi Satterlund and snow socks.  Oh yes, and an Abate for Thomas.

Year of Projects/Love Your Library/Project WO

I'm a woman of very little time this week (when is that ever not true!?) - so I have decided a post for all will be the best way forward.  Some apologies for the photos - I've had to use my Kindle today.

Year of Projects
I am still progressing on Abate - I have started one sleeve, just one and the neckband to go.

The bag is also progressing, I am nearly half way through.

For Love your Library, I have done very little apart from the above progress.  I have also decided to knit by Aiken by Andi Satterlund, that has been in my Ravelry library for a while using my Gilliatt from stash next.

Equally, I haven't made lots of progress on project WO, but I have made small inroads.  The material is cut for the dress and hopefully, will get sewn next weekend, along with a Coco.  I have brought my Fragile Heart with me (me and the boys are at my parents this week) and so I hope to make some progress on this.

I will be linking with the Year of Projects group here, KCCO here and Snapdragon crafts this week.

Year of Projects Update - week 32

Some finishes this week.  Firstly, I finished the socks

I blogged about the construction here.
I also completed a very quick knit of a phone case that I will be gifting to my sister in law

 

She asked for one last week, so that was a nice quick knit, and it used some yarn from my stash.

I made a little more progress on Abate

And I cast on a bag that I want to design for the stall

So there you have it.  This week I want to finish the bag and hopefully, Abate.  Following that I have some plans from my library that I will elaborate on, on Tuesday.  I'd quite like to finish my skirt today as well, and maybe cut out my Coco... we will see!
