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.
Tolsta is gorgeous! I love the way the strips increase on the way down. Glad you mum got socks. I am sure she will wear them often and think of you. Your two projects on the go are great. You always have the greatest projects to watch grow.
ReplyDeleteYour Tolsta Tee is great! I love the way you did the stripes. I will definitely follow your example. Enjoy your time till Christmas. It will be here so fast.
ReplyDeleteLovely knitting. I love the Christmas socks.
ReplyDeleteYour Tolsta looks so pretty. And I imagine it is very comfy to wear.
ReplyDeleteYour tolsta tee looks fabulous, I’m sure your mum appreciated receiving the socks and a great idea to use up some leftovers. They become a unique pair then.
ReplyDeleteThat was Liz (Highlandheffalump) thought I’d fixed the log in…clearly not.
