A Year of Projects Update - week 16?

 I have never missed quite so many weeks!  I don't really know what I have been doing in this time - it almost certainly is not knitting!

I was a little unmotivated for a while - a couple of things I've recently made have not been so great - partly as I have lost a bit of weight - and have not fitted as I would like.

Anyhow, I have started a new project, that I am feeling good about.  It is the Fine Line sweater by Lily Kate makes.

It doesn't look much at the moment as it is ribbed so is very stretchy.  It is designed to be fitted so I am hoping I will be happier with this!  I'm knitying it in a Malabrigo yarn that is very similar to what I knit my Ease in (which I love).

And that is my only project at the moment, when I have a bit of time during the galf term break, I need to sit down and think about what I could do with making next!

Well I'm going to make myself a coffee and I may do some baking today- I'm thinking gingerbread and a pear and almond creation!!

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 😊
