A Little bit of everything!

We went to the Goodwood Revival meet at the weekend - a big car racing event for cars from around the fifties,  We had a great time but I missed my Year of Projects post!  Not the end of the world, but I can't remember the last time I didn't post on a Sunday!
So what have I been up to apart from motor racing?
I have progressed on Rhombing Around - Although I haven't worked on it for a few days I am making good progress down the body.
I have made another sailor top!  The fabric is not as stretchy and so doesn't fit quite as well as my first, but it still fits nonetheless.  I'm going to cut out my third this weekend in a spotty fabric.

And I have started a test knit.  I can't show you much apart from an extreme close up to show you the colour of the yarn.  The yarn is I Knit or Dye rubber sole, that I had in stash - it is gorgeous. 
Linking with a year of projects, Nicole and Ginny

    Rhombing around is looking good and I love the new sailor top, looking forward to seeing the spotty version, each fabric is so different it makes the top look completely different each time. I love that colour of yarn for the test knit!!

    Oh I love the colour of the I Knit or Dye, what a deliciously warm colour when we're heading into autumn! And the sailor top is lovely too, the owl fabric is fantastic!

    Such progress! And productivity. I don't know which I enjoy more - seeing pictures of your projects, or pictures of your boys. I'm always glad when you include them in your posts. They are handsome looking sweethearts.

    I'm impressed with how fast you sew! My sewing projects took ages. Rhombing around is really taking shape - I just love that pattern.
