A Year of Projects Update - week 19

 Not a lot of knitting has been done this week, as I returned to school for the last term before Christmas. 

What knitting I have done has been reserved for my Christmas socks!

These are being knit in some Little French Meadow yarn from 2019.  The pattern is just a vanilla sock and will have a short row heel.

I have done some Hitchenbrook but it looks much the same.

I also dug up some potatoes this morning and planted some tulips for spring!

And that is all this week.  Next Saturday I am taking a trip to Brighton to get wool and fabric, so will, hopefully,  have something to show next week!

I hope everyone has a great week 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 18

 I can't really believe we are into November already!  I spent last weekend and a bit of the half term break with my mum, so there was no post last week.  But I have had a bit of time this week between baking and walking to do some crafting to write about!

Firstly,  I finished my mum's socks and was able to gift them to her while I was down visiting.

I made these using leftover yarn from other sock projects - which is why they change colour.

I also finished my Tolsta tee this week.

This is also knit in leftover yarn from last year's Christmas dress.

So what is next?  I have a few plans but I want to choose yarn and fabric in person, so will be visiting Brighton to go to YAK and Ditto fabric in the near future.

So, in the meantime,  I have made progress on my Hitchenbrook.

And I have started a plain pair of Christmas socks.

I am using some Little French Meadow yarn from years ago (think 2019).

And that is about it - I have been doing a little in the garden  a bit of baking and some walking which is all good, but for now we are back to school for the slog to Christmas!  I'm expecting a busy time!  I hope everyone has a great week.
