A Year of Projects Update - week 11

 The weather has definitely changed, here inthe south East of England.  For the first time for months, it is a drizzly Sunday!

I seem to have been busy over the past few weeks but don't have much to show for it!

I have made a little progress on my stripey Tonight top.

I am making this out of lots of leftover linen yarns that I have.   

Other than that, I'm not sure what I have spent all of my time doing, but I haven't seem to have stopped!  School is back - it's probably the busiest term and I've been consistently doing little bits in the garden (although cropwise,  it's been quite disappointing - but that is the way it goes).

I'm off to Goodwood next weekend - that has comd around so quickly!  So will probably not post that weekend,  but after that should be back on track.

I hope everyond has a great week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 8

 Wow another week passes and we are nearly at the end of our summer break!

Anyway, I have been doing a bit of crafting.

I said I'd give you a modelled shot of ease - so here she is!

Forgive the packing in the background!  We are going away in a couple of days and I am out tomorrow!

This is Ease by Alicia Plummer, knit in Malabrigo Rios, finished a couple of weeks ago. 

I have started another project - I fancied finishing off some linen yarns that I had in stash, so decided on another Tonight top by Lily Kate designs.  It's a bit of a jumble of part balls at the moment,  but I hope to tidy that up a bit when I join in the round!

Other than that, there has been some gardening and some day visits and now packing for our week away.

I hope everyone has a great week 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 6

 This will be very short this week, but with lots of progress and lots of photos!

Firstly, two finished objects.

I finished ease and I am delighted with it!  But I haven't taken a photo as it is boiling!  So, hopefully,  I will get one this week to show it off.

I also finished my sunshine socks. 

These are knit in a tarn from deep stash from a small company that have long since stopped dying.  I am going to knot a second pair from the same yarn and have already cast these on.

These are pictured with a small haul from my day out today.  Me and my younger son went to Arundel to look around the wetland trust.  It was so peaceful and Arundel was delightful.  Even though it is close to home, I haven't been for ages.






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