A Year of Projects Update - week 30

 It has been a bit of a dismal week weather wise!  A bit windy and a bit rainy - still, some parts of the country have flooded and we haven't really had that, so can't complain.  We also had our shower fixed this week (broken since start of December) which has just been lovely. 

In knitting news,  I finished the garter marler sweater and am busy wearing it right now!

I absolutely love it  - it used lots of stash and is cosy and perfect for getting home from work and putting on whilst it is getting chilly.

Now that is finished I was a bit at a loss as to what to cast on next.  I hadn't got a sweater in mind for a moment so had a bit of a look through my Pompom magazines to see what caught my eye. 

I have settled on the following for a moment:

Reduplicate - shorts - Just fancied these as something a bit different!

Some socks to wear with walking boots - I wanted to knit these years ago, and have seen several along these lines in my magazines  so have cast them on.

Both projects will use stash yarn, so that is good!

On the fifty things side - I have continued with my photo a day and gratitude journal.  I have also been making my way through the Ainsley Harriott cookbook and have made some lovely bits this week including a mac and cheese (that I have never made before) and a carrot and orange loaf.

And I think that is that - I may not post next week as we are in Manchester for Thomas's birthday - so have a good couple of weeks.
