A Year of Projects Update - week 18

 I got over excited this week by new projects and had to cast another on!

I have made a little progress on my Fine Lines sweater by Lily Kate makes. 

I  am onto the sleeves and am really enjoying this knit. 

That said, I had seen Claufia Winkleman in this jumper (to be fair, I see and love most of what Claudia Winkleman wears)!

So I promptly tracked it down and am now knitting it!  I didn't choose ghe same colour as Claud, but a dusky pink instead.  It is a super chunky yarn so is going nice and fast!

It is called the Roll up knit down jumper by Lauren Aston Designs and is nice and straightforward.

I have one other knit I want to cast on,  but I shall refrain for a moment. 

I will leave you with a couple of pics from my morning walk.

A Year of Projects Update - week 17

 I'm not really sure where the week has gone.   But it has been a lovely relaxing week, filled with walks, crafting and baking!

I've made reasonable progress on my Fine Lines sweater by Lily Kate makes.

I'm knitting this in Malabrigo yarn that I am alternating.  

I have also been cutting flowers from the garden.

I went for my morning walk and took photos today.





It's back to school tomorrow, with mock exams this term.  Hopefully,  I will still be able to make progress and get to the sleeves this week. 

Apart from cutting the flowers I have only planted out the garlic this week so that it gets a cold spell. 

We have finally started to get some autumnal weather - I have got my hat and gloves ready!!

A Year of Projects Update - week 17

We have finally got to the end of a very long half term!  I am hoping to make the most of the time this week.  Today has been spent, making cakes, cutting flowers and doing some knitting. 

I have made progress on my Fine Lines sweater.

I'm knitting it in Malabrigo yarn and this time I am alternating skeins.  I am really enjoying this knit and have my fingers crossed that it fits nicely!

We have finally had some rainy (and somewhat windy) weather the last few days, but today was a lovely day and I took a couple of pictures as a result this morning.


Well crossed fingers for a nice relaxing but productive week.   Hope everyone else has a good week.
