A Year of Projects Update - week 12

 No update last week as I went to Goodwood in my two handmade dresses!  Unfortunately,  I forgot to take any photos,  so you will just have to take my word for it!

This week I have put in some rows on my Joy cardi by Veera Valimaki,  but again, no photos 😅 

I have been doing something though!  A couple of years ago I knit the festive yoke pullover by Skeindeer knits as a dress.  It was fab, but it was not that flattering.   I realised I was never going to wear it, so I decided to cut it in half and turn the top half into a sweater.

I just adding the bottom ribbing as you can see.  This should be easily ready for Christmas and I may turn the bottom into a cushion cover!

And that is all I have done!  

I hope you have a had a good week 💓 

A Year of Projects Update - week 10

 I have a number of finished objects this week.  I did not start all of these this week - some just had a tiny bit of finishing to go!

This is my second Goodwood dress.  It is using Freya by Tilly and the Buttons (my new favourite TATB pattern).

The top in both of these is Freya and ghe bottoms are Safiyah trousers - also by Tilly.  The shorts and trousers are handsets, but the top and dress are done on the machine this time.   I usually like to hand sewing, but these are stretch fabric and although I can do a zig zag stitch by hand, it is not my favourite,  so this time I whizzed it up on the machine!!

I have done a little on the Joy cardi by Veera Valimaki, but not enough for a photo.

My knee is progressing and will hopefully be fully better for next weekend at Goodwood.  But I've not tested it in the garden although it is very needed.   Hopefully in a couple of weeks I should be able to address some of ghe garden!

Anyway, hope everyone has a good week.  I am back at school proper (with students) this week but I gave Goodwood to look forward to.
