A Year of Projects Update - week 48

I have finally made it to the mid term break!  We have no plans, just going to do things as the mood takes us and I have lots of crafty plans.

For this past week though I have some progress.
FO's
Thomas's socks are done.  I used the plain socks pattern, just 1 x 1 ribbing, 3 x 1 down the leg, followed by a fish lips kiss heel and a square toe.
I have subsequently cast on a second pair for him in my Arne and Carlos sock yarn that I had left over.

WIP's
I did a little on Boxy and some more on the Christmas hat, but not so much that you need to see!
I also finally cast on my March sock club socks - pattern is Dalez and yarn is by Knitting Goddess, colourway is added violet.
I also planned my outfit along
I got the yarn from Eden Cottage last week and found the fabric in stash.  However, as the top is a neutral I think I will still go to Brighton and get some more exciting fabric for a second skirt!

Acquisitions
I took possession of some new progress keepers this week - you can see them on the socks - little teapots (I got some sheep too)

We are so close to the end of the YOP year - I am hoping to spend this week starting to get my round up together and plan that new list.  To join us come over here.

  1. I love the blue-green socks. Such gorgeous colors.
    Eden Garden yarn is to die for, don't you think? I can't get it locally, which is probably a good thing. I used it for my Antarktis and I loved every stitch.

  2. Socks (bluish ones) are so nice. Really like the color of the necy ones. Enjoy your mid term break,

  4. Is it weird that the thing I liked best is the picture of your planning page for your outfit along? I love the shape of that yarn label, the fabric swatch, and the washi tape. And I even enlarged the picture to read your notes. lol

  6. You go girl! Love the blue socks and the new ones. How do you like doing 2 at a time? I'm thinking I would like to do that also but may just get another set of dpns for it. I like the "outfit along" idea..is that a group? I REALLY need to sew for myself. I'm already planning YOP 16-17 but so far just categories....so fun! Enjoy your break!
