A Relaxing and Productive Couple of Weeks

We have just started the spring break here.  I have been quite productive and cast on all the things.
I finished my Bracken last week.

And I finished my first sock club socks - Whitby yesterday.

I never thought I'd be the sort of person who knit socks (too much second sock syndrome), but since discovering taat I'm away and now I have a whole load!!

Me and the boys have travelled to visit my parents, and now I have started mitered triangles, that I have been planning awhile.

This is also the only book I have going.
I have also CO worsted boxy and the Donder and Blitzen hat by Amy Miller.

So there we go, when we return I have a whole host of gardening to do and I shall be taking the online class from Tilly Walnes to sew a skirt.

A Year of Projects Update - week 39

Happy Easter, if you celebrate, and if not, I hope you have a restful few days.
FO's
I have an FO!  I finished Bracken at the start of the week.

I also finished Daniel's socks, but he wore them, so there are no photos!

WIP's
I have made some progress on Whitby, hopefully, I will finish this very soon.

Having finished two projects I set to making an owl bag for the stall

And I cast on my worsted boxy, although there is not much to show for it.

I also cast on my donder and blitzen hat.

Acquisitions
I have none this week, but I'm going to Coldharbour mill next week and intend to stock up (since it's nearly my birthday!)  So I will share next week.
So anyway, we have my brother and his two children staying for the weekend and we are ready!! (They are chocolate eggs).

A Year of Projects Update - week 38

Oh the holiday is getting tantalising close!  I have been becoming increasingly obsessed by podcasts of late (you may notice the influence today - including the use of the word obsessed!)
WIP's ( I have no FO's)
My Bracken for the anything goes KAL is progressing nicely and I am now up to the sleeve separation.  I am loving how this is coming along although I am about to make a few mods which will be on my project page.

I have also purchased some gorgeous buttons for this and will show those off in a bit.
My sock club socks are coming along.  Just churning away the foot, but I'm nearly there.

And lastly, at the moment, I am nearly done with Daniel's new socks.  This is the second sock - so I have a HO!  (A half finished object - common in podcasts!)  Again I'm making my way along the foot, but his are much smaller!

Acquisitions
Oh I have saved a few of these up.
My yarn from Mel - sadly her shop is now empty and will be full no more (luckily I have quite a stash of it already).

I also received my next sock club yarn a little while ago, but still have no pic.
I ordered and recieved the previously mentioned buttons (and a few extras that caught my eye).  These are from Textile Garden here in the UK.

 

Future Plans
I have started to keep a knitting journal and have bought washi tape!
My next sock project is going to be from the book New Directions in Sock Knitting - mitered triangles.  Now this actually calls for 18 yarns, but I have decided to do it as a memory blanket type affair.  So these are the yarns (leftovers) that I will use.  Some I only have enough for two triangles, but others I can get several, so no need for 18.

I have also become quite obsessed with project bags, however, the budget can only stretch so far and I have a sewing machine and lots of fabric.  So that is my task for today - to make two.  Edit - here they are!
