Year of Projects Update - week 24

This will be a very short post with no photos this week!
I have just returned from my last craft fair of the year.  The craft fair itself went very well, but I came out to find I had left my lights on and the battery was completely flat.  Who knows how, given there is an alarm if you leave them on and I returned to the car.  Anyway after two hours and an attempted rescue by an elf (I kid you not), the AA finally got me going.

In terms of projects I have done very little other than working on things for the stall and a couple of commissions.

This next week is a blur of Christmas plays and end of term but I should get some knitting in and have something more productive with photos for next week!

A Year of Projects Update - week 23

Time is flying by now - I missed last week as there was too much going on (not knitting related  I hasten to add!)  My eldest was ill, but still insisted on seeing Father Christmas and of course I had to do the cake!  I started it and my son finished it!

In knitting I completed another set of booties.

 

I made a little progress on my Raspberry tart

And today I am at the first of two fairs before Christmas.  So not that much knitting carried out, and now of course there is wrapping to be done!

A Year of Projects Update - week 21

Gosh Christmas is so close!!  I usually have the cake made by half term so I can well and truly douse it!!  Anyway, I am making the cake today and have finally gotten round to ordering food for the holiday yesterday.

Am thinking a snowman/snowflake theme along these lines this year as that is what the boys are in their plays this year.

I have been quite productive on the knitting front!  I knitted another tree decoration,

a penguin coffee cosy,

I finished both cosies for my commission (just 1 more to go now), (modelled on my too small teapot and improvised cafetiere!)

another bag for the stall

and... I finished my socks!!  Yay, not perfect by any means, but they are done and they fit!  I want to start a new pair quickly so just need to find a nice pattern.
