A Year of Projects Update - week 6

 This will be very short this week, but with lots of progress and lots of photos!

Firstly, two finished objects.

I finished ease and I am delighted with it!  But I haven't taken a photo as it is boiling!  So, hopefully,  I will get one this week to show it off.

I also finished my sunshine socks. 

These are knit in a tarn from deep stash from a small company that have long since stopped dying.  I am going to knot a second pair from the same yarn and have already cast these on.

These are pictured with a small haul from my day out today.  Me and my younger son went to Arundel to look around the wetland trust.  It was so peaceful and Arundel was delightful.  Even though it is close to home, I haven't been for ages.






And that is it for this week.   I hope everyone has a great week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 5

 I am so close to having an FO!

I have been knitting away on Ease by Alicia Plummer in any spare time and I am very close.

I am currently on the drawstring collar and then will be done.   I am using Malabrigo Rios and although the pic looks crinkly, it really isn't!  I have added thumb holes as I love those in a long sleeve.

I have been away over this last week, as I finished the walk I started last year.  I did 60+ miles last year on my own walking alongside the river Tamar in Cornwall.  I then hurt my knee, so couldn't complete it.  Me and my friend went back last week and finished it and then had a couple of days relaxing by the pool in (what they call) the English riviera.










We had a great time, but it's good to be back to enjoy the rest of the summer holidays!

I hope everyone has had a great week.
