F for Fail

Well, this project didn't go too well...after so many socks at the beginning of the year it soon fell by the wayside, but fear not - new year, new chance. This one I finished on Hogmanay/ New Year's Eve.

The book's quite old - advertising?

Calendar

Boy, it's been a while - too many hours at work, too little spare time to get crafty. Alas some of my friends keep dropping hints about me using my photographs, so here's one I made earlier...

Results

Progress so far:  At the bottom we have "Inro"/blue, then "Konnichiwa"/ecru, "Kabuki"/green and "Geisha"/ecru and green. Right now I use the rest of the blue wool for some freestyle ones adapted from "Geisha". 
Fittingly we just had a fresh fall of snow, so I'll be sticking to knitting socks for a while...must be the nesting instinct. :))  

Work in Progress

Green and Ecru Tweed wool are up next. There's less of the Green, so I decided to try something new with it: I have never attempted socks before. Of course it couldn't be a "normal" pattern for my first attempt, no - I went for a Japanese one. After two online tutorials to make sense of the heel it took a day for a pair of socks. Not too bad! 

Project 2018

Project 1: Lilac glitter, three skeins - scarf and hat? Gloves?

I recently checked my drawers for wool and found piles and piles of it. Most of it was tucked away since the kids were small and they're grown now, so it is high time to do something with all that before buying new. In fact I can't buy new until the old is used! 

Project 2: Grey chunky, one ball - scarf
