A Year of Projects - the plan!

So, it that time again.

This is my favorite part of the year - I love planning!  It probably won't bear much resemblance to what I make by this time next year  but I am good with that!

I am going to keep my general theme of the past three years,  which is to prepare for Me Made May  - but I am going to extend it to a generally handmade wardrobe.  I did a bit of a make nine board earlier in the year, so my list is based on that.

Knitting

• Sweaters
• Soorik - Rav link started last YOP year
• Festive Sweater KAL - Rav link - started at Christmas 
• socks
• Mitts as part of the advent project and other items
• Continued progress through the Stephen West brioche course
• Progress on Battenburg - crochet but have put it here anyway as it is my only crochet project 

Sewing

• More pants!
• Summer dress
• Two more Esma's - Esma
• Basic tees
• Saguaro  - Saguaro
• Placemats 

Other crafts

I would like to do some embroidery this year and some more of the cross stitch that I started this year.   I would also like to do some more needle felting - in the first instance for mum's advent.  And throughout it all, I would love to makemy crafting as sustainable as I can alongside doing the same in other areas of my life. 

So there we have it - plans for this next year - I've tried to steer away from specific pattern names as I do have my head turned all the time!

A Year of Projects - round up!

 I actually completely forgot about this post until I started writing it!

I think it has been a very successful year on the crafting front.  Since I haven't thought of it until now I think I will just add photos!  I will do the talking next week.  So here we go!

And there we have it - not all  but a snapshot!

Will see you next week for the excitement of the next year!

A Year of Projects Update - week 51

 Oh my  another week missed.  I didn't have a really busy weekend last week (apart from going to the cinema)  but as we all know  sometimes it's just nice to stop and relax.  Unfortunately,  last week that meant no post.

Not to worry, I am back this week with a range of projects.

Firstly, an FO.  I finally finished the bag - Judoka - from Pompom magazine number 25.

This came together really well in the end and I have used it loads   including the trip to the cinema.

I have also came back to my Soorik pinafore from Shetland Trader book 3.  I have split for the armholes and have completed the front bib up to the colourwork section, and am now working the back.

It needs a block  especially the part where I changed needle size!

And finally, I have nearly finished my Grace dress (incorrectly called it the Kate dress last time) from Simple sew.  I just need to complete the seem from the zip and hem it.  

This is entirely hand sewn, which is my sewing method of preference these days (who am I?) 

And that is it for this week.  I am hoping to finish the dress and maybe the pinafore in time for next week's round up, but we will see.  I would also like to start formulating plans for next year's YOP.

Hope everyone has a happy and healthy week  💗
