A Year of Projects - Round Up Post

I usually do a montage photo for my round up and almost forget about my list.  But this year I thought I would focus on my list!  So here was my list from last year.  How did I do?

Knitting

Quiet Stars - finished

Waters - finished (worn with my Landers pants - outfit was made for the outfit along 2018)

All The Love - finished

Rugged Coat - finished

Epistropy - all ready to go!  But still not started - I still want this one.

Christmas Jumper 2 - Julgran finished

Nasreen - Finished

Socks - various - use some of the many patterns I have but never used.  Yes I did some, not sure I used many different patterns but did knit some socks!

Grass River Tunic - finished but ..... frogged.  Once done (and I am very stubborn when knitting, I will see it through to the bitter end) I quickly realised I didn't like it - not the fault of pattern or yarn - I just didn't like it and so frogged it.  I am going to use the yarn to make sanctuary.which is already cast on - will update you on this one in a later post.

Enchanted Mesa - didn't make it, when I finally get to the end of my immediate queue I will cast this on.

Two blankets - um yes - I did start one!

Colourwork mittens - Finished

Sewing

Cleo - 3 completed

Landers trousers - finished - see above

tunic tops - have an Agnes cut out, but not sewn up.

Coco - have made several now - and some modified ones












PJ bottoms - finished













Gifts

Mittens - three pairs complete

Scarf - finished and gifted

Advent socks (gift for myself!) - have not done one more.

Christmas jumper for Daniel - not yet (maybe for this Christmas)

Socks for Daniel - bumblebee socks finished


Techniques

Brioche - no

wool exploration - no - but did get several samples to use at my leisure.


Other crafts

Keep up drawing - yes have done a fair bit of this

Complete the embroidery a day challenge - not yet (there are not enough hours in the day!)

Bath bombs - done

Candle making - not yet - this year!


My overall aim was to complete Me Made May which I did so the year was a definite success.  I also completed many things that weren't on the list - two hats by Woolly Wormhead spring to mind!
So there we are - I think I accomplished quite a bit last year.  Here's looking forward to the next!

A Year of Projects Update - Week 52

I quite like this - I think we should have a 53 week year every year!  This way I get to do 51 updates as well as the round up post and start up post!
This is going to be a short one this week as we are off in a bit for Thomas birthday present (it was his birthday in January but we are now going to the race track for his first driving lesson)
It may be short but I have a FO and a HO!
I have finished my Vianne.  I knit this in John Arbon Textiles Viola which is delightful.  I made several adjustments which I put on my project page on Ravelry.

This is an unblocked photo and obviously without buttons and one end to weave in!  Better photos to follow in the new YOP year
My Ho is the sock.  I finally finished my Dragon Hill Studio sparkle sock that I knit with the 9" circular needle.  I didn't love it but I didn't hate it.  However, I do hate that I have another to go - much better to do them both at once (in my eyes!)

My other shortie socks are coming along - I took them to sports day and did some work on them.  I also did a little on Sanctuary, but not enough to photo.
That will be it for this week.  I will round up next week and then it is the unveiling of the new lists if you want to go classic YOP and do July to June.

A Year of Projects Update - Week 51

And yet another week goes by and we get closer to the end of the YOP and school year (I so look forward to both, it's the best time of year!)
I have a FO this week.  Well, the ends need to be sewn in, but I am calling it finished.
My Understated by Joji Locatelli is done.  I knit this in Penelope by De Rerum Natura which is delightful.

My socks are progressing.  Here is my stripey sock.  I have decided it I don't really mind the 9 inch circular.  What I don't like is the fact that I have a whole other sock to knit!  I usually knit them two at a time and that is very much my preferred method.

Anyhow, these are nice - I am just not looking forward to having to knit a whole other one.

Vianne is progressing nicely.  This is knit in John Arbon textiles Viola that I love. I would't be surprised if I wasn't nearly done by next week.

I also took the opportunity to cast on Sanctuary from the latest Pom Pom.

And that is it this week!  Next week I am likely to be late for the last normal post of the year as we are taking Thomas driving at Brands Hatch - very exciting.
