A Year of Projects Update - week 40

 At risk of being really boring, the only thing I have worked on, is my Elsk.  I am knitting this with leftovers and John Arbon Textiles yarn.   I am coming up to the split for the sleeves - just a couple more inches!

This is all I have been doing!  We have had a few days of sun this week and this weekend has been nice - I didn't garden yesterday, but hopefully,  today I should be able to do some work out there.  We are on our Easter holidays from Friday, so hopefully,  I should be able to get a bit more done next weekend.

Anyway,  that is it for this week, I hope everyone has a great week 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 39

 This is going to be particularly short and sweet - I have done very little apart from work on Elsk.

Therefore,  the photo is the same, but Elsk is a little longer!

I think I'm about 7 inches from the sleeves!!

Otherwise, we have had a couple of days of nice weather,  and so, I did do a little work in the garden.  Hopefully,  we will have a few more nice days in the coming weeks, so I will try and spend more time out there!

And that is that,  I hope everyone has a good week. 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 38

 I can't believe it is March already.  It's nearly a year since we lost mum - time has gone so fast.

I have been pretty much just plodding along with the one project, so there wasn't a whole lot to report last week.  

So the project I have been working on is Elsk. 

I am at the waist at the moment. 

Pattern is Elsk by Gudrun Johnston and the yarn is by John Arbon Textiles on the whole.

I also made a tablecloth this weekend.   I say made - I bought 3 meters of dead stock fabric and hemmed it! 

Other than that, I have done very little.  This Sunday, I did complete a puzzle  - this is a Wentworth puzzle that I am currently into - they do lovely quality puzzles with unusual shaped pieces.  This is one I borrowed from a friend.

And that is that!  I hope everyone has a great week.
