A Year of Projects Update - week 7

 Ah we have had a good week!  I got my sewing day in!  

I've been doing some jobs in the garden this morning to explain the lateness of this post!  And I'm hoping to get a bit more done this week - we are going to the garden centre tomorrow to this end!

I've managed to get back into my books this week.  I have had an Audible subscription for a few years and had accumulated my maximum credits as I didn't use it.  But this week I have got back into it.  Today I finished listening to the World at my Feet by Catherine Isaac - I enjoyed it a lot and have now moved onto Dear Fatty by Dawn French which has already had me in fits of laughter.   It is read by Lisa Tarbuck who I love which makes it even better!

Anyway what have I been up to?  

Firstly, here is my skirt.

Here it is teamed with my Antiquity blouse that I finished a while ago.

Since the skirt was finished I've been getting some itchy fingers! (Not itchy feet!)  I have been quite monogamous since finishing four quarters  and this week that got the better of me.

I still have Daniel's Christmas jumper and my socks.

But I decided I needed another blanket.

This is a scrappy blanket again,  but this time it is marled project with a resulting worsted weight yarn, so is progressing nicely. 

I have also started a bag from a Pompom quarterly that I found whilst looking back through my magazines.

And finally, I have started a basic tee from Pompom in a Knit By Numbers 4ply from John Arbon Textiles. 

I had a great sewing day on Tuesday, but of course didn't get through all that I wanted.   I did make another Esma and a pair of trousers, plus a couple of alterations, so I feel really happy!  I hope to write a dedicated post later in the week.

And that is my week!  I hope everyone has a brilliant week  - I am likely to miss next week as we are on holiday in Cornwall where there is very little internet - so will be back in a  fortnight!
