My projects seem to be growing month by month.
I've made good headway with the Winters Frost socks by This Handmade Life. One sock is off the needles and the cuff has been completed on the second. I'm enjoying the pattern and I'm also beginning to enjoy using magic loop more than I thought I would.
I'm at exactly the same place with the Wildflowers & Honeycomb Socks, also by This Handmade Life, one sock completed and the cuff finished on the second sock. I love the yarn I'm using for this project, it's by Crafthouse Magic in the Rio colourway and it's beautiful to knit with as well as being such a pretty colour.
I haven't worked on the Beach Days wrap by Tracie Millar as much as I thought I would this month but it's growing slowly. I've enjoyed what I have knit so far so I'm hoping to get more of this worked up this coming month. I'm loving how the colours are looking together.
There's seventeen different colours in the granny stripe blanket that I'm working on and I've now used each colour twice. They're being chosen in a random order but I'm using each one only once in each seventeen stripe colour block. That way, each colour should spread out quite evenly throughout the blanket.
I've started a new Cross Stitch project this month, though I haven't worked a great deal on it yet. Being fairly new to cross stitch, I'm a very slow stitcher, but I'm hoping I can get at least one of these Christmas card designs finished in time for Christmas.
There's a good selection of projects on the go at the moment and I'm happy with how each one is progressing.
Don't forget, if you haven't already entered my giveaway, you've got until midday on Monday the 9th of September 2019 to do so, just leave a comment on my Ninth Blog Anniversary Giveaway post.
They are all lovely makes, Jo, but the blanket is my favourite. So much fabulous colour! X
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying all the mixing and matching of colours in my blanket, and to think, I nearly sent this off to the charity shop as I was fed up with it, I'm glad I didn't.
DeleteI love variety, I am certain it is good to have something on the go for every mood and situation. I particularly love your honeycomb socks, will look the pattern up for my next pair. Have a lovely week x
ReplyDeleteThe Wildflowers & Honeycomb sock pattern seems to have been very popular. I used to have only one project on the go at any one time but I love having a variety of things to choose from as the mood takes me now.
DeleteI love all your projects, it's great to have so much choice. I am itching to knit, but bored with socks, and can't find anything else I like.
ReplyDeleteI think you can get fed up when you work on a particular thing for a while, you probably just need a change from socks. There's so much choice out there, so many lovely patterns I want to knit.
DeleteGreat stitching! I love the color of your Winter Frost socks.
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous colourway, I've been saving it for just the right project and I think I found it.
DeleteWhat a lovely variety of things you have in the making, I love the colours in the blanket.
ReplyDeleteI believe Happy Birthday Wishes are due?
Hope you had a lovely day.
All the best Jan
Yes, it was my birthday on Tuesday, thank you very much for the good wishes. I'm enjoying having a variety of projects on the go.
DeleteLove the color of those Winters Frost socks!!!!!!!!!

It's a beautiful colour, really lovely to work with.
DeleteThey are looking terrific especially the wrap, that's going to be a stunner. I've ordered some wool finally, I've missed it. Christmas is on the way . . . better get cracking!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying the wrap, I'm hoping to get more done on that this coming month. I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to make.
DeleteLove all that you are working on at the moment, the skandi cross stitch will make great cards.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day
The cross stitch cards have been at the back of my mind to make since I saw them in the magazine a few years ago, I'm glad I've finally got round to starting one.
DeleteLovely projects, with so many on the go you can certainly pick up one to match your current mood. I like having a few on the go for that very reason xcx
ReplyDeleteI love having a wide choice of projects. I tend to favour certain ones at certain times.
DeleteSo many lovely projects on the go, it is hard to chose which one I like best but I do love that blanket. Every time I see a lovely colourful crochet blanket it makes me want to learn, I haven't mastered it yet. I hear you on having lots of projects on the go, I do that to!
ReplyDeleteI learnt to crochet for that very reason, I'd seen so many lovely colourful blankets that I wanted to make one for myself. I learnt to crochet with the help of You Tube, there's some great tutorials on there.
DeleteLove all your projects, thanks for sharing pictures, it's so nice to see those beautiful patterns and the gorgeous colours! 😊
