A Year of Projects Update - week 46

 It's been a couple of weeks since I posted - I've been plugging away on Elsk!  But have done little else.

So I have been working on Elsk.

As you can see I'm working down the sleeves - as soon as the colourwork is done on sleeve 2 it should be finished very quickly!

I have not done anything else!  But half term is looming and I intend to start a few things then.  There will be a little gardening going on today, but then I have a week to get to grips with it in a week.

And that is all this week - just work and a little bit of knitting!  I hope everyone has a great week. 😊

A Year of Projects Update - week 43

 April is flying by!  I have worked on a single project (still)!

I did spend a little time in the garden today.  Just digging a few more rows and cutting back on a little brambles.  We put the potatoes in a couple of weeks ago and I have been bringing on several seedlings, although nothing else is ready to go out yet.

Anyway, the project is the Elsk dress.  I am knitting this in John Arbon Textiles yarn.

It is done bar the blocking and the rest of the sleeves.   It is, however, very slow going at the moment as I don't have much knitting time at the moment.

And that really is it again.  Hopefully I'll have more soon.  I hope every has a good week.

A Year of Projects Update - week 42

 We have had a lovely couple of weeks  weather-wise.  As a result, I  have done little crafting, but that is fine.

What I have done is work on Elsk.  The body and skirt are done, I'm now just finishing off the sleeves. 

I  am using mainly John Arbon Textiles yarn and leftovers for the colourwork. 

This is the only project I have been working on. 

We went to Brands Hatch on the hottest day of the year. 

And yesterday we went to the tulip festival at the farm down the road from us. 



And that was all I have been up to of late!  Hope everyone has had a good couple of weeks 😊
