A Year of Projects Update - week 27

 This will be a short and sweet post today!

We are all ready for the day so thought I would quickly check in before we properly get underway. 

I have no photos today but I will tell you I am getting along fabulously with the garter marler sweater and it has inspired my Christmas eve cast on!  By next week, I should have some finished things to show you. 

So that is that - if you celebrate, I wish you a fantastic Christmas day and by the next blog there will be a new year,  so happy new year to you all! 🥳🎉

A Year of Projects Update -- week 26

 I didn't post yesterday,  despite good intentions, as I got a bit carried away with my new cast on!

Anyway, I am posting today as it is the start of my Christmas break - hurrah!

I have been wearing See You There all week when I can and me and Daniel have managed to get out in the crunchy snow this weekend.

So, my cast ons ...

First, I cast on some Christmas socks 

Not a brilliant picture,  but they are knit in Stranded Dyeworks Christmas yarn from at least a year ago - I have a Christmas Red to do the heel and cuff.

My other cast on is a garter marler sweater by Stephen West.  It is knit in fingering weight held double, so you can use up all your bits.  Which is exactly what I intend to do!  Here it is so far.

I am hoping to get a lot done this week, in amongst the Christmas prep!

I hope everyone has a great week, and for those that celebrate, have a brilliant Christmas. 

A Year of Projects Update - week 25

 I'm crawling my way to the Christmas holidays!

My buttons came and I was able to finish See You There 

I've already worn it out and about and I love it!

I also finished Tegna. 

Modelled by Patricia here, this is knit I some Lay Family Yarn.  

I don't know quite what sweater to cast on now so I'm giving myself a week off and then will decide!  In the meantime I have cast on a pair of socks and a dishcloth (mine are looking a bit sad!)

Me and Daniel  went to our local nature centre where they were having a small Christmas Market this weekend,  so I will leave you with a scene from the park.

I hope everyone has a lovely week.
