A Year of Projects Update - week 51

 Time is going by too fast at the moment!  You blink and it is nearly the end of my year of Projects year.  Next week I will try to do a round up post - I say try as it's been a bit of a year, so we will see!

I do have a bit of progress this week.  I have finished the main part of the leg on my Stephen West socks for ...?  I'm not sure what month these were now.  

I have since picked up the stitches for the cuffs and hope to finish the cuffs today - leaving me with the feet to do over the next couple of weeks.

I have done very little on my Windlass vest,  but again, I hope to get going on that over the next couple of weeks.

I recieved my journal fron paper republic. 

It is the red one, pictured with my Hobinichi weeks.  I love both of these!!  

Anyway, that is that for this week - I am not sure if I will do next week - I may focus on a new start and new year 😊

Hope everyone has a great week. X

A Year of Projects Update - week 49

 We spent last weekend at Brands Hatch, so no post then.  I'm not sure what I've been doing of late, but it has not been knitting!  

I have made a little bit of progress on my Windlass vest 

This is in John Arbon textiles yarn.

And that is about it for the last 2 weeks!  

I went to see The Salt Path which was lovely  and very true to the book.

I have also been doing a bit of journalling.  I've got quite into it and have treated myself to a journal from Paper Republic.  I will show you when I get it - hopefully this week!

And that is really it this week.  I hope everyone has a great week 😊 

A Year of Projects Update - week 47

 I managed to make it back again this week!  It is the start of our half term break which I have been looking forward to.  I have some plans, but hopefully, will fit in some knitting, gardening and walking.

Yesterday I took a trip to Brighton to catch up with a cousin and his wife, that before the funeral, I hadn't seen since he was little!  It was a lovely morning and I picked up the 2 Raynor Winn books that I haven't read for good measure.  I have read the Salt Path and am going to see that film on Friday, so am really looking forward to reading these. 

Anyway,  in knitting,  I have finished the leg of one sock - I will go on and do the other leg before doing the cuffs and continuing with thd heel and feet two at a time.

These are the latest from Stephen West in his year of socks and I am using up a whole host of scraps!

I have also made some progress on my vest -  Windlass.   I am knitting this in John Arbon Textiles yarn and I have already knit the back.   We are having a bowling party for Daniel today so while I'm waiting for him in the carpark, I will do some of this!

So, that is my Sunday - I have no plans for tomorrow (a bank holiday here in the UK).

Tuesday, me and a friend are going to a local manor for a spa morning - a present for my birthday from my husband.  Which should be fabulous!  Wednesday I am going back to Somerset to catch up with a friend, see dad and sort out a few things with mum's house.  Then at the end of the week I am going to thd cinema to see the aforementioned Salt Path and then I have some pampering appointments so all in all, a busy but should be  relaxing week!

Hope you all have a great week.
