Year of Projects Update


Since the wedding (posted here) last weekend, I have not had much time to take pictures this week, so this post is all to do with the list!!  In summary, the crocodile scarf is nearly finished and I have finished one of the Amy Miller cowls.  The one skein MKAL is finished - but think it is supposed to be a cloth - in which case the yarn is completely wrong - I have decided, therefore, to get more yarn and turn it into a scarf for my dad!
So, here is the list so far.
Firstly, gifts for Christmas


  • For Daniel and Lily -  a toy- ?dragon and rabbit using stash yarn
  • For the sisters in law - wristwarmers - finished 14/08/13 
  • For my mum and brother - pot covers and mug hug 
  • For Thomas and Luke - crocodile scarf  - one nearly finished
  • For my mum and mil - dishcloths and bag - finished 3 cloths and starting KAL for 12 on the 1st October


  • Then, there's all the projects just for me

    • Finish tote bag  - hurrah - finished 04/07


  • Hat for me - finished 09/08/13
  • Socks for me - definitely using my A Stash Addict yarn
  • Placemats - in time for Christmas I hope!
  • Scarf for the husband
  • Shawl for me - Dragonfly wings by Boo knits - will be my next project - finished 14/07
  • Winter hats for the boys

  • Additions!
  • Little Gradient for Thomas - Finished
  • Hexipuffs - more made
  • Bonnet for SCBU - finished 14/08/13
  • Vanilla socks as first sock project - yarn bought from Mellifera yarns
  • MKAL  with One skein - scarflette - finished 26/07/13
  • MKAL with Boo Knits - Morticia - start 01/10/13
  • MKAL with Amy Miller group - start 01/09/13 - completed 1 cowl - 3 more to go
  • September MKAL with One Skein - nearly finished -but to be turned into a scarf

  • So thats all from me this week.  Hopefully, I will be able to do more this week and will post pictures next Sunday.
    Hope you all have a great week.

    8. Just took a peek at the wedding snaps--the cake was gorgeous and the boys so handsome! You are going gang busters on your list and impressive to have some Christmas knitting done already. :)
