A Year of Projects Update - week 4

It's still hot here!

I have not worked on much this week apart from one project.  And in that one, I have an FO.

FO's

My Quiet Stars is done.  This is Quiet Stars by Joji Locatelli, knit in yarn by Stranded Dyeworks in the metelsome colourway.  I absolutely love it and cannot wait to wear it, but not in this heat.

I did also put in some work on my Waters by Andi Satterlund, and you never know, I may have another FO next week.

We are now on summer holiday - hurrah!  We went to Hever castle yesterday to watch the jousting, which was lovely.  This week will include a trip to London at the start of the week and we are off to Snetterton at the end of the week.  Snetterton is a race circuit in Norfolk that we camp at and watch the touring cars race along with various support races.
But first, I have to do the ironing!
I hope everyone has a lovely week - please visit the rest of the group by clicking the link on the right.

A Year of Projects Update - week 3

It's hot here.  The thing is (and I am not usually one for complaining) I don't live in the UK for heat.  I live here for it's unpredictable weather and generally cool and dreary nature.  Surely it can't last much longer?

Anyway I have an FO!

My market bag is finished.  I am very happy with it and used it this morning.  In fact it was only while I was walking down the road with the boys, that I realised I matched my bag perfectly.  I was wearing my Zinone made from the exact same yarn (Blacker Lyonesse) and both matched my trousers (which I did not make) which were the same colour.

I also finished my second Cleo dress by Tilly and the Buttons. I love this as you can wear it with anything underneath to make it summery or wintery.  I shall be wearing it to school this week as the weather is set to stay hot, for the last week of term  yay!

WIP's 
Due to the heat I did little work on my 2 sweaters, but I did finish one sleeve and start the next on Quiet Stars

I also started another pair of socks in an attempt to join in with the Joji Locatelli sock KAL - I am knitting cables down the back and see if I can finish in four weeks.
So there we go, that has been my crafting week.  Hope everyone has a good week

A Year of Projects Update - Week 2

Today I thought I would do a quick audit of the projects that I have on the needles.
FO's
I do have a finished object.  I started and finished a pair of gloves for Daniel.  He wanted green, so green it is.  These are from the Knit mitts book by Kate Atherley. They were really fun and easy and will be casting Thomas on some very soon.

WIP's
These are all of my active wip's.  I have two more, but I haven't worked on those in a while. 
In no particular order.
My market bag - now I have picked this back up I am motoring along.  I am looking forward to being able to pack this in my bag for those surprise shopping trips!

I am also getting there with my headband/turban.  I want this to be ready for when we go camping, but that should be easily done.  I am using leftover John Arbon textile yarn.

I have another pair of shortie socks on the needles, but I am not very far on with these.  I am only working on these if we are out and about or if I get too hot with the other projects.  (We are having a bit or an unusual heatwave here in the UK)

My Quiet Stars is coming along nicely - I am working away down the first sleeve, but it is a bit hot to work on at the moment.

And Waters is coming along as well.  Now I am a way down the body the neckline doesn't look too bad but I will still look to bring it in a bit.

And I think that is all.  Most things are nearly there so I am really looking to finishing  few things and getting new projects on the needles!

Well that is me for this week, for more of the same and to see what the other yoppers are up to click the link in the sidebar.
