A Year of Projects Update - week 51

 Although some things have calmed down this week, it still seems as though life is abuse as ever!  The week also began unbearably hot, but finished quite chilly with flooding!  Somewhere in the middle would be nice!

I shall start this week's update with a forgotten FO from last week.

This is my vest no.2.

I knit this in some Exmoor Zwartbles from John Arbon Textiles and I am delighted with it .  I think it will go with lots of tops in my wardrobe.  I won't wear it next to skin as it is a bit toothy, but that was never the idea anyway. 

I have done a bit more sewing this week  but more on that in a couple of weeks time.

Otherwise my four quarters is trundling along.   I have completed one quarter and now am on the second which is long and thin, as it makes a tie.  So I have about a meter to go!  I am knitting this in a linen yarn from Drops.

I haven't done a lot more this week.  Last week's sewing Weekender was great I really learned a lot including pattern matching, which may link to my current sewing project!

Anyway,  more of that later.  I hope everyone has a great week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 50

My, this week has sped past!  I haven't done a lot other than work this week!

I have made some progress on my new project, which is Four corners by Julie Robinson from the spring Pom Pom magazine. 

I haven't really worked on any other knitting.

I have been participating in the Weekender - a weekend of talks and workshops on all things sewing by the Foldline.

Whilst watching I have sewn a new pair of pants (panda pants this time!) And some pj bottoms for Daniel.


And that is that for this week.  I hope everyone has a great weeko⁷
