A Year of Projects Update

So, I've waited until lunchtime to update this week, so that I had more to talk about!  I am pleased to report that I do.
I am so close with my cardigan, I'm halfway through the second arm, so just the other half and the neckband to go - I will have this finished before the new YOP!  No pic as I forgot to take one.

This morning we did some baking (not YOP but a project none the less) and I managed to take photos before the boys finished them off!  These were so easy I will put the recipe on the cakes page soon.



Here is the progress on the Christmas jumper - not very much, but once the cardigan is finished I should be off.


I purchased a whole load of yarn in the week, to knit a baby blanket.

I have cut the fabric for my Delphine skirt for the outfit-a-long and sewn together the pieces of my tunic top. This is my first proper garment that I have done properly and I am quite pleased with it.  Yes, there are areas I would like to improve, but I would happily wear this and may do so in the week.

I also completed a few articles for the shop/stall, just some plain pieces - I think I am nearly ready now.

So what have you all been up to?
Have a great week.

    The baking looks yum and I'm not surprised the boys gobbled them all up, looking forward to your cardigan and what cute purses can't wait to see pics of your stall all set up ready to go :)

      Thank you - I'm nearly there - I think! We made coffee cake as well, for me and the husband.

    Your Christmas Jumper is going to be so cosy, I have a cardigan on the needles that desperately needs finishing. That's a great first garment and good luck with the stall.

    I'm new to this group and I can't wait to join in with year 4.

    I'm glad I didn't read your post until after lunch. I'm not sure my lunch choice would have been salad had I seen those yummy cookie pictures! Love the little purses. The long ones look about right for my sunglasses :)

    I'm going to start calling you "Amazing Lucy"! You get so much done and beautifully too, I might add. The cookies look yummy. I am a cookie gal....can't resist a good cookie recipe. I love your tunic top. I REALLY need to start sewing some things for myself and soon.
    The long purses are great and I can't wait to see your stall all set up. You go girlfriend!
