Being accountable


Well, I have put off writing this post for long enough. You may remember that I set myself what now seems a ridiculously overambitious list of projects to complete over the summer holidays. Since my next school holiday is looming (we finish for the October half term break tomorrow, yay!!), I thought that it really was time to face the music! So here goes.........

1. Gabriola socks - done!

On the whole, I am happy with what I managed to finish, although I would have loved it if I'd managed to knit the sweater too! It's getting chilly here and I could do with a warm sweater right now! 

Mr JK and I are off to Yorkshire on Friday. I am really looking forward to it - it's a part of the world that I don't know at all. I shall be taking my gift knitting for Kat and the test knit sock to try and get them both done and dusted. I have several projects (as yet, not even in project bags, but calling out to me all the same!) that will be waiting in the wings. I hope to blog a couple of times during the week so pop in to see what I'm up to. xxx

That is a huge number of finished projects. I especially love the baby ripple blanket. As for yorkshire, I think I must have lived there in a former life. I always feel happy and "at home" when I visit....which isn't often enough.

That's quite a list, and I think you've done really well to get so many things finished - and everything looks gorgeous.
