I've knitted a sock and am now on the hood of the aran hoodie Very Happy

I've just the second sleeve and sewing/borders to do on the first wee baby cardie as well. Plus I have finished one cross stitch picture and I have done 5 cross stitch pictures for Christmas cards Very Happy

I appear to be on a roll Laughing

Well, well. 41 knitting days to Christmas. Six weeks tomorrow.

Anyway, I've made some progress this week Very Happy

I bought the yarn for the chunky cardi I'm making for my sister and cast on Monday night - finished the back last night and am halfway up the first front. Ages since I've done anything on 10mm needles - I'd forgotten how quickly it growsn Wink

Yarn is bought for the dog coat too - you'll laugh, but Click DK, this is going to be a well dressed dog!

So all in all I'm feeling quite chipper Very Happy

Good grief, it's time for the Weekly Check already? Wink

Doesn't seem like a week since the last one! Wow, you've made good progress though

I, however, have not Embarassed

Was bogged down (no pun intended) with plumbing woes last week and away for the weekend and the first part of this week for work, all of which has seriously cut down on my knitting time Evil or Very Mad

But, at least I had a couple of long train journeys which meant I could make a serious start on my sister's socks, and have just turned the heel of the first one. And I've only got the foot to do of the second one for Mr FC. So it's all under control, 6 weeks should be enough time Laughing

Looking forward to seeing the dog coat .... Shocked

I am still struggling with the Cobblestone jumper for dh. I seem to knit and knit and still make no progress. I cast on a scarf for my mum this morning to give me a change.

I finished the first front of the cardi last night - so this is going to be a speedy knit Very Happy

Only trouble with knitting with 10mm needles - they make my wrists ache Sad
