A Year of Projects Update - Week 37

Yay, I have a FO!
I finished Hitofude and I love it.  I loved knitting it (I love a bit of lace!) and I love the yarn.  I wasn't totally sure if the shape of it would suit me, but I think it does.

I love this yarn and I have been quite saddened this week by the news that Mel (of Mellifera yarn) is stopping dying (I thought she might be as she has not updated for a while).  I know there are lots of others but I did love this yarn!!  I did indulge in some of her last skeins and she sent a bonus skein, I have yet to take photos but I'm sure I will soon, I can assure you they are lovely!
As a result of finishing this, I have not made much progress on the other projects.  I have finished one of Daniel's socks and am in the middle of the heel turn on my socks.  Again, hopefully, I will be able to post more progress next week.
I thought I would check the list!  It's been a while.
