  • Furry hats - started July 25th
Techniques to learn

  • Quilting
We broke up on Wednesday and I got myself home to finish Megan.  I did finish and I am so pleased with it.
I am not going to show a modeled shot until I have finished Vianne to go with it.  And Vianne is here...
 I also finished the christening present (the cheeky Kea) without pockets (what does a six month old want with pockets!?)





I finished my second chance frog cowl and I have finished clue one on the mystery socks (only 3 clues behind)!

I have already added several things to the list - 2 PE bags and 2 pencil cases to sew for the boys and I have been completely seduced by Byeline by Jimenez Joseph (so much so I had to purchase a little yarn to add to some I had)!
I have started my furry hats - I want some for the stall in November, I should be able to knock a few up by then.
So this week, the plan is to knit clue 2 for the socks, ?knit both sleeves for Vianne and finish a hat.  That will do for starters!  To see what everyone else has been up to visit us.

    Megan is gorgeous, looking forward to seeing it and Vianne together when it's done. I love the look of those mystery socks! and I'm smiling at what a 6 month old might need pockets for :)

    Ooo, your outfit along looks fabulous! I'm excited to see them together. Your comment about what does a baby need pockets for made me chuckle - you are so right of course. The sweater looks so sweet as is.

    Love the Cheeky Kea. I expect a six month old might want to jam handfuls of semi-digested cookies into those pockets, so I expect by excluding them you are doing the parents a favour!

    Those mystery socks are looking awesome so far! Love the travelling stitches!

    I got distracted by the fact you are doing the Hitofude. It's on my list to do as well. I like the look of the MKAL socks you're doing. I had to track it down to add it to my favourites. The 6-month old can put her pacifier in there as she eats something :P

    So many great projects. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this already commenting on one of your posts, but I truly do love that Rhombing Around sweater. It will be fun to watch your completion of your projects this year. :^)
