A Year of Projects Update - week 34

 I'm just back from a walk with Daniel this morning.  So I've changed and am enjoying a nice coffee whilst doing a bit of knitting.  It's also the end of the half term break, which gas been fairly busy but a nice break nonetheless. 

I have started the February Stephen West socks since I last posted and am making my way through them - hopefully I will be finished by the end of the month. 

These are using up several minis and leftovers which us the intention for all of these socks ☺️

I have also been plodding away on my Windlass vest and I am nearing the lace section and shaping for the arms 

I am knitting this in yarn from John Arbon Textiles.   

And that us all the knitting.  I intended to get some sewing ready but time got away from me.  I did, however, manage to get out in the garden to clear some brambles and I have got a selection of seeds on the go.

And that truly is it.   I hope everyone has a good and relaxing week x

A Year of Projects Update - week 32

 It's back to my usual progress this week!  But that is OK.

I finished my hat off with it's pom pom.

I got yhe pom pom from Wool Warehouse and is one by toft, so is made from alpaca fur and is so soft.

I have also been making a bit of progress on my Windlass vest.  This is a pattern from an old Pompom magazine and is being made in a wool from John Arbon Textiles. 

And that is that.

I'm still only looking at the garden!  This weekend has been a bit dismal, so no motivation to get out yet!

I hope everyone has a great week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 31

 Two weeks have skipped by and we are out of January.

I didn't post in the last couple of weeks as I really had nothing to post about!

I have a bit this week.

Firstly, I started and finished a hat.  Well nearly finished - I want it to have a pom pom- so I have ordered one from wool warehouse to come this week.

I knit this from stash yarn that I used for my Stephen West socks.

I put in a few rows on my desk set top and started a new cast on of the Windlass from an early Pom Pom Magazine that I am adapting for fingering yarn.

This is being knit in some Devon Natural yarn from John Arbon Textiles.

And that is about that.  I have been on a couple of walks with Daniel and otherwise worked and sat on the sofa!  At some point I will get out into the garden but I need to work up to that!

I hope everyone has a great week 😊.
