A Year of Projects Update - week 37

Hmmm, it's been a bit of a week.  I hope everyone is staying safe and well.
We haven't done much this week apart from work and school.  Although having said that we did go out for a meal last night.
On the crafting front I have been plodding through two particularly.
My hat is coming along nicely!  I want it to be quite slouchy with a turned up brim, so there is a little way to go yet.

Since there is a way to go I decided I probably needed a little more yarn so I dug some other out from stash in a lovely grey.
I have also been making my way through my Like a Cloud.  Again I still have a way to go but they are both nice projects.

We will see what this week brings.  School is continuing at present so that NHS staff are able to keep working and not looking after children,  so hopefully that will continue for a while.
Hope everyone has a healthy and good week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 36

I haven't made that much progress this week.  Although I don't seem to have been that busy??
Anyway I have made a little progress on both sweaters but not enough to really be able to tell.
I have also cast on a couple of little projects.
First I wanted to use up some leftover stash, so cast on a pair of DK socks.  I am going to marl several different leftover yarn from previous socks.  I am using the stitch count from some DK socks by Helen Stewart that I have, otherwise the pattern is made up.

I also decided I would like a cosy slouchy hat.  So I cast on the sock head hat by Kelly McClure.

I am hoping these two projects don't take too long!
I also took possession of some new yarn which I will unveil when I cast on the projects.
My new recipe this week was aromatic coconut and beetroot curry which I can report was lovely!  It was basically cubes of fresh beetroot and onion with curry spices and the tomato and coconut milk added.
Well hopefully, this week will be nice and quiet so I can do more crafting!  Now to get the apple cake from the oven.  Hope everyone has a great week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 35

This week has passed in a bit of a whirlwind.   Life has been very busy, what with appointments and clubs, very little crafting has taken place.  So I will keep this short and sweet
At risk of being boring I am still working on both sweaters.  Both fingering weight (what was I thinking?)
Stonecrop is still coming along but there are a few more rows to go until I split for the sleeves.

Like a cloud is also coming along, but as you might be able to see,  I need to wind another ball of mohair.

And there we have it.  I am dying to cast on more things but I will refrain for a bit longer.  Hope everyone has a great week.
