First July finishes

I knitted this sweater for DH.
The yarn was from a jacket knitted 40 years ago, unravelled, dyed and re knitted. 
It is knitted from the top  down and took two weeks to complete.


A quick knit, a child's beanie, the current one was too small.

June Wipocalypse

The question  for the  month is if you stitch more in the summer or the winter.
for me it would be the winter. We are busy over summer with visitors and with our vegetable garden, so I am hoping  for more progress by the  fireside.



I have started my second flower of four on my cushion.

My canvas work has grown with all the sky now being stitched.
I look forward to seeing the progress of others.

A few more for May

Three more dishcloths for the kitchen 
18 more washcloths for the bathroom.


I think that makes the total dish/washcloths for the year to 171!
It also means that the tub of cotton yarn is empty. About 4 1/4kg or 10.5 pounds of yarn used .

I finished 10 dish cloths for the kitchen.





It doesn't look like a very big pile but there are 140 washcloths there.
They will be going to Ethiopia next month.


It has been lovely to get some big projects off the list.
