A Year of Projects Update - week 18

 I can't really believe we are into November already!  I spent last weekend and a bit of the half term break with my mum, so there was no post last week.  But I have had a bit of time this week between baking and walking to do some crafting to write about!

Firstly,  I finished my mum's socks and was able to gift them to her while I was down visiting.

I made these using leftover yarn from other sock projects - which is why they change colour.

I also finished my Tolsta tee this week.

This is also knit in leftover yarn from last year's Christmas dress.

So what is next?  I have a few plans but I want to choose yarn and fabric in person, so will be visiting Brighton to go to YAK and Ditto fabric in the near future.

So, in the meantime,  I have made progress on my Hitchenbrook.

And I have started a plain pair of Christmas socks.

I am using some Little French Meadow yarn from years ago (think 2019).

And that is about it - I have been doing a little in the garden  a bit of baking and some walking which is all good, but for now we are back to school for the slog to Christmas!  I'm expecting a busy time!  I hope everyone has a great week. 

A Year of Projects Update - week 16

 It's been a busy couple if weeks!  School has been busy and it seems as though this half term has gone on forever.  Now just one more week before our half term break, which will be very welcome 😊 

I have done a few things these past 2 weeks - I have turned the heel on mum's socks.

I need to have these finished by next week which is when I'm going to see mum and dad, so I shall be working hard on these!

I have also put a few more rounds on my Tolsta tee. 

I think I will do another white stripe and then finish with burgundy ribbing.

I have also modified two pullovers to be zipped tops so that I might wear them some more!

And that's it for this week!  I hope everyone has a great week 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 14

 It's been a week of trying to get back to normal!  I do feel much better this week - perhaps as I am not taking the antivirals this week!

Anyway I have only make a little progress on my projects this week. 

I have done a little on my Tolsta tee. 

Upside down but there we go!

I have also started some socks.

I have made reasonable progress on these as I am on a deadline!  My mum requested them and I will be seeing her at half term so I have about 3 weeks to get them done!  Yarn is the leftover Fine Fish Yarn from my last pair of socks as she didn't want me to buy any!

I have also done a bit of mending and am waiting for a couple of zips to change a couple of bought pullovers into zipped tops.

Next up for sewing - I would like to make a yoga top and a  pair of trousers from The latest Fiber Mood magazine. 

I have the pattern just need to get the material.

And that is it for this week.  Hope everyone is well and has a great week 😊
