Year of Projects - week 13

A few finishes this week and, of course, some more CO's!
First up, I finished the sock, wrote down the measurements and stitch count and then promptly frogged it!!  I have cast on a new sock, but haven't got far so there is no photo yet.
I finished the chunky bag and I am very pleased with this.

I have CO a new one in a different colourway to make with wooden handles here:

I also finished the reindeer hat, which I love.  Of course my model loved it too - honking the nose!!

I have, therefore, had to cast on a new hat complete with nose for him!

Finally, I have CO two other new projects - little stockings for the Xmas tree and another Raspberry tart for me in some lovely Mellifera yarn which arrived this week in cerulean.













On the sewing front, I cut the fabric for my top and started cutting the fabric for a quilt I would like to make - going to sew it all up next week.

I think that is about it for this week!
Have a good week x

  1. Great finishes. I am sorry to hear you hated your sock, though. I am loving the colorway of the new purse. That should be quite lovely when done. I am sure your model will be so happy when he gets his own hat to squeak.

    The reindeer hat is awesome. Your model definitely looks delighted by it!
