A Year of Projects Update - week 13

I have been so productive this week!!  Better get on with it.

FO's

I finished a hat for Daniel.  It's using the same simple cuffed hat pattern as my hat.  I used Malabrigo worsted as I love that yarn.

I also finished the smooth operator socks that I did in west Yorkshire spinners cocktails in the tequila sunrise colourway.  Love these and they fit perfectly, but I probably won't do the afterthought heel again as I prefer the ease of the fish lips kiss heel and you can still use a contrast colour.  Susan's instructions were fantastic and I finally mastered the kitchener stitch.

I also started and finished a dog jacket that I was asked to make.  It's not perfect and I think if it fits the dog in question I will do a second in the round (I really don't like seaming).

WIP's

There are several!  

I have made progress on my Xmas jumper and I have joined a sweater KAL to try to give me more impetus to finish.  I promised my students last year that I would have my own knitted one this year!

I have started Thomas's hat, using again the same pattern, and again in Malabrigo worsted.

I am nearly done with the sock blank socks, just a bit more leg and then the cuff to go.

I only had one sock on the needles so I had to cast on more!  I also joined a second KAL with Brityarn to knit socks with wool of British origin.  So I am using my West Yorkshire spinners in the birds colourway (I believe bluetit, but I could be wrong).

 And that, I believe, is that.  We haven't done much else this week.  I have updated all my projects on Ravelry, so if you are a member you can see all the details there.

Have a nice week!
