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.

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!!
