A Year of Projects Update - week 41

I have many WIP's this week so I thought I'd put them all on show together!
WIP's

So starting from top left, I have made progess on my Donder and Blitzen hat and am nearly on my reindeer now!  Iam using some plucky that I was gifted and some leftover Louisa Harding.
Clockwise to this is my Arne and Carlos socks.  So called because that is the yarn that I am using by Regia.  I am doing a vanilla sock - 1 inch of 1 by 1 ribbing, then I'm going to 6 or 7 inches of stockinette and then I'm going to do a fish lips kiss heel on these as it is one I have not used before.
Continuing clockwise is the Xmas sweater.  I have promised my form I will have this ready for this Christmas, so I must get going with this!
Lastly clockwise is my worsted boxy, knitted in Cascade 220.
And in the middle is Peeping Cowl from Interpretations 3.  I am knitting this from Mellifera yarn cash sock, in four colours.
My last WIP is separate as it is just a teaser.  I have started a test for Ruth, and this is a little shot of Farraige.  Iam using Debbie Bliss Rialto lace that I had left from Morticia a couple of years ago.

 I have no FO's, but I do have an acquisition.
For my birthday last week I got these - Hiya Hiya wooden 5" short set.  I am using these for Peeping cowl and the test and so far am loving them.

 I also made a Dominique skirt by Tilly and the Buttons, but I haven't photographed this yet. I will try to do so today and post it next week.
Otherwise we visited the British wildlife centre this week and became members.  The boys loved the otters and hedgehogs but I loved the red squirrels

 We also went to Brands Hatch last week to see the touring cars which was good.  It's back to school on Monday for the last term of the year so back to the grindstone!!
