Year of Projects Week 47

I'm very excited, I've hit 10,000 views on my blog (though I think most of those are on the Pug Washcloth)
I've finally finished a sock! Only one, but it's a start. It fits really well, though I do have to say that I had to reknit the heel three times, since I just couldn't get my head around the wrap and turn aspect of it. I really do love it, I think the yarn goes really well with the pattern, and reminds me of autumn, so it's very unseasonal at the moment!

We've been having gorgeous weather lately. I can't believe I'm sat here in a vest top and shorts, with the doors and windows open. I love the sunshine, it makes me so happy, so I'm really enjoying the heatwave. I hope it carries on!
It was mine and Connor's 3rd anniversary on Friday, and I came home from placement to this beautiful bunch of flowers. Isn't it gorgeous.

We went out for the most amazing meal.
 And then cocktails on the roof of one of the bars in the city centre.
It really was a lovely evening, and a great break from the stress of work which I'm spending a lot of my time on. I've been doing 45 minutes of work followed by 15 minutes of knitting on the socks, so my knitting is still progressing. I need to relax and I'm hopeful I can get the socks finished relatively soon

  1. Lovely sock! The first one's the hardest - you'll see, the second one will go swimmingly! Sounds like you had a nice celebration; pretty flowers!

  2. Yay for socks!

    We're having a heatwave here, too. Today it's supposed to top out around 95°F (which is about 35°C). Way too hot to have the windows open.

    Oh well....
