Nearly there

Well I hoped to finish Vintage Housewife by the end of August.  I very nearly made it.  My dog died on Friday and I didn't have the heart to stitch at all. She was old and she passed in her sleep but it was still upsetting.

I'll keep stitching this week and finish sometime.

A cuppa

This cute little guy is for my sister. I meant to send it home with her when she was here last month but forgot.  Oh well, the delay gave me time to figure out which trim I would add.  Her favorite movie is Young Frankenstein so I think she will really enjoy this.

Hidden prime socks

Kitchenered the second toe this morning! Socks really are the same size. I just had to angle the photo to reduce the glare. That little ball of yarn is all that is left! I was pretty close on this pair.

First hidden prime

I finished the first hidden prime sock. So named by my son, the intended recipient.

Co 52 stitches.  Knit on size 2 in ribbing for 13 rnds. Switch to size 3 and continue for 53 rnds total.  Heel knit over 24 sts for 13 slipped stitches.  Return to size 3 and complete gussets and knit plain for 61 rnds. Usual toe reductions for 13 rnds.

Still stitching

I am making progress! My goal is to finish by the end of August. 

#6

This is #6 for the year. I think they turned out pretty well. The yarn is Aktiv and this is the second pair I've made using it.  Farbe 75-25 Partie 29928 in the Santa colorway.

A bit of tidying

I decided to Tidy up a bit. I haven't decided what to do with the shop hop blocks yet so I put those away as well as the fabric. I had a mess of patterns to put away too. Just a bunch of bits n bobs here and there.   I cut out the fabric for four blocks of the finishing kit but was too tired to sew them up. I'll get a new block tomorrow to make as well as more of the finishing kit.  I really like that the LQS gives us the finishing kit as we go along.
