A Year of Projects Update - week 5

We have had a very pleasant week and will finish off with us at Snetterton race circuit camping for the weekend.  I am writing this in the week and will put this up when we return on Monday.
I have an FO this week!
The shortie socks are finished and have been well used already.

This is a toe up version of the Rose City Rollers with a German short row heel.  I used some leftover Christmas yarn from Amy at Stranded dyeworks, with a tiny bit of a random mini to make the leg a little longer.
I also cast on Epistrophy using some Coldwater Mill yarn that I bought a few years ago.  A photo will be provided next week!
I didn't cast on Faraige as I had some minor moth dramas!  I found evidence of moths in both sets of yarn for Faraige and Epistrophy, so into the freezer went most of the yarn for 72 hours.  There was some for Epistropy that was fine so I started with that, but had to wait for the rest.  Following it's icing, I then put the yarn on the back shelf of my car to heat up, so hopefully I have them.  I also invested in some industrial strength moth traps.  I already have lavender all over the place but obviously that wasn't enough.
Last week I also worked on some candles for Christmas.  It was so easy, I made 5 although I have lots more mugs to go.

Lastly I will leave you with some cushion covers that I made for Daniel a few weeks ago.  He picked out the fabric and I ran them up for him a bit later.  He loves them!

A Year of Projects Update - week 4

Slightly more progress has been made this week!  We started our summer holiday this week and so have been out and about a little bit.  We are still at home for most of this next week but we are going camping at the end of the week.

FO's 
I have one!
I finished Sanctuary this morning.  This is from Pom Pom magazine and I loved it. 

The yarn is Eden Cottage yarn Askham 4 ply in the colourway crocosomia, which was also lovely.  I originally used it for my grass river tunic, but it was never the right combination.  This is much better.
This now means that I have finished both of my outfit along outfits just in time for the deadline.

WIP's 
I also managed a few more rows on my shortie socks and turned the heels on both.  Now I only have to do a little more and they are done, since I have done them toe up.

We are having a very lazy day today so I have take the opportunity to start making some candles, which I will report back on next week.  I also pulled out my Margot pattern pieces as I want to make some shorts and trousers from my stash of fabric.

I am also going to cast on two new sweaters - epistrophy (that has been ready and waiting for a couple of years now) and Faience, so I have to wind all of the yarn in a bit. 

A Year of Projects Update - Week 3

It's going to be very short and sweet this week.  It's been a bit of a week and there has not been much knitting going on. 

That said I did finish the bottle carrier.  This is knit in leftover Rosy Green yarn and should be just the ticket.

I also knit a few rounds on Sanctuary, but not enough to see much progress. I also took my socks with me to mum and dad's so did a bit on them but again not really enough to photograph.  Hopefully next week should be a more fruitful one!
Have a great week.
