A Year of Projects Update - week 45


This week seems to have flown by in a haze of busyness!  We are at Thruxton today watching another British Touring Car meet.  It is Daniel's birthday this week, and we are having a bubble party next Saturday - so it is busy, busy, busy.

Anyway, I did finish one sleeve of Aiken last week

And I have been progressing on the socks - they are further on from this picture.

I have also been making good progress with my bathmat, that I haven't really mentioned before.  I hope to have a finished photo by next week.

Yarn Along

Have had a lovely long Bank Holiday weekend - we didn't do too much but it was just nice to spend time together.

I finished Abate this week, so now have a pair!!

I'm making good progress on my stripey socks - onto the second now minus heel.

And am making my way down the second sleeve of Aiken.

I'm being really strict with myself to finish one of these before I CO another.  I really want to CO Rhombing Around, and I want to CO a vest, but not sure which one, and I want......!

I've been inspired to read a little more, as I read these blogs, so am currently reading The Secret Life of Bees - recommended from a Yarn Along blog.  The problem I have is that when I do a midweek post I like to read and comment on all the other blogs, and then I don't have enough time to read!!  I have compromised with doing a post every 2 weeks - will see how this strategy goes!!

A Year of Projects Update - week 44


We're in the middle of a lovely long bank holiday weekend here.  My husband took Thomas to London yesterday to see the football, so it was just me and the littlest boy!!  We had a lovely, but busy day as Daniel planned it to the hilt!!

I did virtually no knitting yesterday, which is unheard of.  But in the week I finished Abate - yay


Also finished the first sock - well, without the heel, but I want to do both of those together.

I also picked up the stitches for the first sleeve of Aiken, and am making my way down it!

Having finished Abate, I am desperate to CO a new project, but I must finish some WIPs first!
