A Year of Projects Update - week 42

We are in the middle of our Easter break here.  Me and the boys have just returned from visiting my mum and dad in Somerset.  While there we went to the zoo which the boys thoroughly enjoyed.
We got back on Friday and then went for a day trip to Brighton yesterday.  Me and Daniel enjoyed lots of time on the pier and I am feeling very inspired to do some drawing today - we also spent a lot of time going into some art galleries on the sea front.
On the knitting front I did finish Daniel's socks but he wore them straight off the needles .  I knit them one at a time so he wore one for a week then the other joined it!  Anyway I will take a picture when they are out of the wash.
I made a lot of progress on the Grass River tunic and am now at the sleeves.  I am only going for short sleeves so I'm hoping they won't take too long.
I also made a little progress on Nasreen and started a new project.  I lost my market bag a while back so am knitting a new one.  This time I am using up some cotton that I had in stash.
And I think that is it for this week.  We don't have too much planned for this week so I should be able to make progress on most projects.
I hope everyone has a great week, all should be back to normal next week.

  1. Even when I read in my head the word Somerset I hear me thinking of the accent. It must be from an old TV show. Daniel sounds like a very knit worthy person, so keen to wear his socks. Enjoy the rest of the Easter break.

  2. Looks like you're all having fun. All of your projects look great, Lucy. I look forward to seeing Daniel's socks! And that sweater when you finish! What a terrific color that is. :)

  3. I have been following you in IG. You have had a lovely break with the boys. It must make you feel so good that Daniel loves his socks so much he seldom takes them off! Market bags are wonderful. I have 3 of them and they are commented on each time I go to the grocery store. So nice not to have all that plastic to take back to the store for recycling! Your sweater is coming along nicely.

  4. Good job on the market bag - so practical. I love giraffes! They seem so other-worldly to me.

  5. Your boys are getting so big! I'm glad you got to get get away and visit your folks and do some fun activities. the grass river tunic is lovely and I can't wait to see you model it! I've never seen a pattern for a knitted market bag...but then I've never looked. I may have to spend some time on Ravelry! LOL!

  9. I love that Daniel's socks went on his feet as they were done! That's adorable. The tunic and the market bag are coming along swimmingly. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Easter break!
