A Year of Projects Update - week 42

 We have had a lovely couple of weeks  weather-wise.  As a result, I  have done little crafting, but that is fine.

What I have done is work on Elsk.  The body and skirt are done, I'm now just finishing off the sleeves. 

I  am using mainly John Arbon Textiles yarn and leftovers for the colourwork. 

This is the only project I have been working on. 

We went to Brands Hatch on the hottest day of the year. 

And yesterday we went to the tulip festival at the farm down the road from us. 

And that was all I have been up to of late!  Hope everyone has had a good couple of weeks 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 40

Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

 I feel like I have gone back in time!  I must have got out of sync with my weeks somewhere!  Anyway, even though I thought I had done week 40, it seems I haven't!

I have only been working on one thing this week, and that was Elsk, my dress.   I am knitting this from John Arbon Textiles yarn and have nearly finished the body of the dress.

I have also managed to get out into the garden this week and do some digging.  I have got some seeds started and am now ready for the potatoes!

I did some foraging this week and got some wild garlic which I have made some pesto with.  I gave yet to use it, but the bit I tasted was lovely.

It is my birthday tomorrow and I will be going walking and then we are out for dinner.  Otherwise, it is a fairly busy week, after a quiet one last week.  I am out next Sunday  but hopefully,  I will be able to post before I go out.

I hope everyone has a good week and holiday period. 

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 😊
