A Year of Projects Update - week 43

 April is flying by!  I have worked on a single project (still)!

I did spend a little time in the garden today.  Just digging a few more rows and cutting back on a little brambles.  We put the potatoes in a couple of weeks ago and I have been bringing on several seedlings, although nothing else is ready to go out yet.

Anyway, the project is the Elsk dress.  I am knitting this in John Arbon Textiles yarn.

It is done bar the blocking and the rest of the sleeves.   It is, however, very slow going at the moment as I don't have much knitting time at the moment.

And that really is it again.  Hopefully I'll have more soon.  I hope every has a good week.

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.
