A Year of Projects Update - Week 37

I have been making a little progress on everything this week so lets just jump straight in! 
I have been doing a little on Thomas's Christmas jumper and have started the sleeves.
I'm really hoping these will fly by as he has thin arms!

I have been making progress on the winter rose socks by Helen Stewart.  I really like this pattern so far and each pattern repeat is nice a easy to memorise.  I am using some yarn from The Knitting Goddess.
I am also loving Reflections by Veera Valimaki - this is very addictive and is going to be so squishy.  I think I will need some more yarn so have picked a pink from stash!
I have also been progressing on Zinone but have also realised I will need some more yarn for this - I think I was a bit optimistic when I ordered.  Anyway I have ordered another skein from Blacker.
In other news I have been making progress in the garden - I am going to build a barbecue doing the Easter holidays.  And it was mothers Day here in the UK today so I got some nice bits from the boys including chocolate and coffee so I am happy!
Have a great week.

    The Christmas jumper is just wonderful, Lucy. And your other projects look lovely. Happy Mother's Day, Lucy! Yes, I hope you show us a picture of your BBQ when it's finished. Sounds like a great project.

    So glad you are in such a happy place, Lucy!
    That Christmas sweater is adorable. I was tempted to say "jumper," but that just doesn't feel right for this American mouth!
    I adore that sock pattern. One of my all-time faves.

    Nice colourwork details on the sleeves! The sweater is turning out so beautifully... well done!

    Looking forward to seeing more of the socks. The yarn seems to have a lot of halo, but it's a pretty colour.

    Very interested in outdoor projects and gardens. I need to make some plans here and am looking for inspiration!

    I know I've been dreaming of some garden work too! Can't wait to see your Barbecue. Happy Mothers Day too! I was seeing posts about Mother's Day on Instagram and I was a bit confused. Thanks for clearing that up.
    And I'm love the details on your "jumper". How cute will he be for Christmas Pictures! Your winter Rose socks look great, what a fun color.

    Happy Mother's Day!!!! Ummm,,,yes, coffee and chocolate....smart kids! You are so deserving and such a great Mom..I mean Mum! LOL!
    Thomas's sweater/jumper is so darling and the colors are great. I can see the roses in those socks...lovely. I would like to try her patterns as I hear they are really lovely to work from. She has a podcast too. Reflections is beautiful and the yarn is so rich looking. I know what you mean about being 'optimistic'.....I'm still fretting about my socks and what to do. Love all you projects as usual and I hope you had a great Mother's Day!
