Year of Projects Update - week 34


We have had such a lovely week.  Me and the boys went to Somerset to spend the week with my mum and dad.  It meant we were able to relax and do very little for a few days.  I did, however, manage to fit in a fair bit of knitting.

I finished Abate - Daniel loves it, and, although the arms are a bit long, he has worn it lots.


I finished the bag - I just need to find the right handles now to complete it.

Most excitingly though.... I have made good progress on my Christmas jumper!!  This was supposed to be finished this last year, but I hardly started it.  Now I have finished the bottom ribbing and the first colourwork part, and am making my way up the body.

Very exciting stuff!

I have also finished my Coco this morning, which was so easy and straightforward I am very tempted to change my mind and have this as my wedding outfit.  I know it looks a little like a sack here, but I think it looks better IRL!!

As a result of completing a couple of projects I have CO some more!  I have CO Aiken by Andi Satterlund and snow socks.  Oh yes, and an Abate for Thomas.

    Great job. It is so rewarding when a child will wear something made for them and do it willingly. Love the bag and the sweater. Coco looks totally comfortable and I can see why you would love to make another.
