A Year of Projects Update - week 51

 It's starting to get hot over here!  This is not my preferred weather  - I'm a knitter - I prefer winter!!

Anyway,  I have done some knitting on my Stockholm Slipover. 

This is a pattern by Petite Knit and I'm knitting it in Ard-thir by Kate Davies designs.  I'm about to start my last skrin so hope I've get enough!  I am on the finishing so crossed fingers 🤞 

I've done a little on my socks, but mostly I've been trying to keep cool and prepping for next week's heatwave!

I've been trying to do some walking and managed to get some gardening in this morning before it got too hot, but still ended up sweating lots!

Anyway, that's it for this week.  Hope everyone is staying cool where you are and have a good week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 50

 I did not intend to be away for quite as long!  I don't think I've had a four week break in all my years doing a year of projects!

Anyway it does mean I have progress!

I finished the dress.

Excuse the background in the modelled shot!  I am ridiculously happy with this- I used John Arbon Textiles yarn and a few leftovers.  The pattern is called Elsk and is from The Shetland Trader book 3.

So since finishing that I have cast on two new projects.

The Stockholm slip over by Petite Knits.

For this I'm using some yarn from Kate Davies design.

I have also started a pair of socks using some very summery yarn - I can't remember where it is from, but I don't think they are trading any more.

These are just going to be a vanilla sock - I haven't done socks for ages so it's a nice little project.

I have been quite busy the last few weekends - last weekend we went to a racetrack called Oulton Park to watch touring cars and prior to that we went to a Devon seaside town called Seaton and spent some time sea swimming with friends.

So there we go!  That pretty much summarises the last month.  I hope everyone has had a good month and I won't take quite as long to get back!

A Year of Projects Update - week 46

 It's been a couple of weeks since I posted - I've been plugging away on Elsk!  But have done little else.

So I have been working on Elsk.

As you can see I'm working down the sleeves - as soon as the colourwork is done on sleeve 2 it should be finished very quickly!

I have not done anything else!  But half term is looming and I intend to start a few things then.  There will be a little gardening going on today, but then I have a week to get to grips with it in a week.

And that is all this week - just work and a little bit of knitting!  I hope everyone has a great week. 😊
