A Year of Projects Update - week 16

 It's been a busy couple if weeks!  School has been busy and it seems as though this half term has gone on forever.  Now just one more week before our half term break, which will be very welcome 😊 

I have done a few things these past 2 weeks - I have turned the heel on mum's socks.

I need to have these finished by next week which is when I'm going to see mum and dad, so I shall be working hard on these!

I have also put a few more rounds on my Tolsta tee. 

I think I will do another white stripe and then finish with burgundy ribbing.

I have also modified two pullovers to be zipped tops so that I might wear them some more!

And that's it for this week!  I hope everyone has a great week 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 14

 It's been a week of trying to get back to normal!  I do feel much better this week - perhaps as I am not taking the antivirals this week!

Anyway I have only make a little progress on my projects this week. 

I have done a little on my Tolsta tee. 

Upside down but there we go!

I have also started some socks.

I have made reasonable progress on these as I am on a deadline!  My mum requested them and I will be seeing her at half term so I have about 3 weeks to get them done!  Yarn is the leftover Fine Fish Yarn from my last pair of socks as she didn't want me to buy any!

I have also done a bit of mending and am waiting for a couple of zips to change a couple of bought pullovers into zipped tops.

Next up for sewing - I would like to make a yoga top and a  pair of trousers from The latest Fiber Mood magazine. 

I have the pattern just need to get the material.

And that is it for this week.  Hope everyone is well and has a great week 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 13

 I missed last week - not because I didn't have much to report (although I didn't have lots) but because I have shingles!  It's not been too bad, but it started painfully and then developed into tiredness!  Anyway, I've done a bit now and am feeling a bit better.

I actually have a finished object.

I started and finished this in the last 2 weeks.

I really wanted one of those little scarves to tie around my neck.  So I made it up myself and finished - it was very quick.  I used some Zooming home for Christmas,  which was a Christmas yarn from Standed Dyeworks.

I have also put a whole load of rounds on my Tolsta Tee. 

This is made in some leftover Navia Duo from my Christmas dress.  I am nearly there and then I need to make my mum some more socks. 

And that is all I have been doing - my walking has stalled for a moment but I will be back on it soon.

I hope everyone has had a great couple of weeks.
