Year of Projects Update - Week 43

I cannot believe there are only 10 weeks before I will be planning my next year of projects - this year is flying past.

I did a craft fair yesterday and here is a snapshot of a commission I got from that 

I had larger versions but the customer wanted a smaller one so here it is!!

In terms of my list, I have made a little progress on my socks

I am going to do an afterthought heel as I thought I could use up some of my other sock yarn.

Now I have got the craft fair done I can get back to my selfish projects, so by next week and especially over the bank holiday weekend I hope to fit in lots of knitting.

Spring Dreams

Ah, spring has well and truly sprung.  We have been having some splendid weather of late.  These tulips are in my kitchen - I love tulips!

Once I had taken the picture I realised the colour of them picked up the colour in my stripey socks - made me feel better about the colours.  I am a bit further than this now and am onto the foot.  I shall be doing the afterthought heel for these.

My friend gave us some frogspawn so me and the boys are watching its progress with interest!!

And finally, I don't usually share these but I love him!!  This is sheep for the stall on Saturday!

Linking with Nicole and Ginny.

A Year of Projects Update - week 42

Bits and pieces this week!
I finished off some sandals for the stall.  I am doing my first craft fair of the year next week so I am busy getting things ready this week, but then I am back to purely selfish knitting!

Second up is also for the stall but I really like it so I've included it here, even though it's not on the list.

The third is on the list though, my latest socks.  These are Dave by Rachel Coopey and the yarn is heart and soul from Sirdar.  It's not my colour choice to be honest, but my 7 year old wanted this, so who am I to argue!?

I have CO for the sleeves of Abate, but I've not made too much progress.  Hopefully, after the fair next week, I should be able to make some real progress and get back on track, especially with the sewing which has really taken a back seat of late.
