Finished Objects:
Necker Leftovers: A shorty sock in my standard sock recipe, this time with a german short row heel. I used a 2mm circular needle, and cast on 64 stitches. The yarn used is West Yorkshire Spinners, Signature 4 ply in the Blue Tit colourway. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/leftovers-sock---necker
Woven Pencil Case: A small piece of fabric which was the very first bit of weaving that I ever did. using some purple and blue yarn. I managed to find a zip that was the right size and hand sewed the zip in as well as sewing the fabric up the sides to create a small notions.
Seed Stitch Mitts: A half object that sat in the bottom of a crate for years having been forgotten! A simple made up pattern for knitted flat seed stitch fingerless mitts. This pair were knitted with a chunky yarn with a 3.25mm needle, making for a very tight gauge, but very warm fabric.

WIPs:
#SocksforSam: Another pair of Necker socks, this time in a plain red yarn, and for Sam. This pair is knitted on a set of 2mm DPNs, the pattern calls for circular needles, but I'm a rebel! https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/necker-2
Fern & Feather: This is a beautiful pattern that I brought for myself as a present when I got my first pay slip, and it is starting to take shape. The yarn I have used is Countess Ablaze, Grande Merino, in the Footloose (Funk Remix), and Undyed Grande Merino. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/fern--feather


In The Shed:
Stool: This stool is being made up as I'm going along, but this week we have put on the finishing touches, which are the supports for the legs. There was a basic design that I tried to follow, which I figured out would be the most simple. The end result I am quite pleased with,
Spitfire: A little airfix kit, the only problem I had was with the canopy, but that was very easily overcome and the overall result is lovely! https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/themes/spitfire/supermarine-spitfire-mkia-starter-set-1-72.html

Finished Objects:
Giraffe Cross-Stitch: A cross stitch kit given to me ages ago, I'm afraid I haven't got any other deatils.
- A small giraffe cross stitch that I have made into a bookmark. I believe that the cross stitch is by Inspirations, but I lost the packet it was in a long time ago. I cut a small piece of felt just the same size as the cross-stitch aida itself and hand stitched the back on.

Fishtail Headband: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/fishtail-braided-headband
- This is made out of Empress Chunky yarn, in the Atlantic colourway. I used straight 6mm needles and one cable needle. It is a lovely cable pattern and can be made to fit any size of head.

Tweed Snood:I am unable to find this pattern on Ravelry at the moment.
- I made this as some emergency crochet - never go away with too little knitting! - It is made out of King Cole, Big Value Multi Chunky, in the shade "Pasture", with a 5.5mm crochet hook, and is crocheted in such a way that the round goes around the inside and the outside of the snood, giving it a twist.

WIPs:
Easy Fingerless Mittens: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/easy-fingerless-mittens---with-thumbs
- Again more emergency knitting when I finished my tweed snood. They are knitted out a green DK weight yarn, it is Jarol New Arrival, Baby Randoms which is a 100% Acrylic. It was from a local wool shop. I used 4mm straight needles. This was to make sure that I used both the needles and the yarn that I left home with as to not steal anything from my best mate.

Granny Stripe Blanket:https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/granny-stripes-2
- a blanket that has been in the making for quite a while. Made of all my DK scraps, and started when I was just beginning to crochet, it still isn't even half way!

Aquisitions:
Countess Ablaze Yarn: Green - Footloose (Funk Remix), White - Undyed
Fern and Feather Jumper Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fern--feather

In The Shed:
Stool: I'm winging it, trying to make a stool.
- Stop here for some untamed confusion and maybe, just maybe at the end I'll have a stool that can hold my weight. Elase we'll be here for The Stool Take Two.

Spitfire: https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/themes/spitfire/supermarine-spitfire-mkia-starter-set-1-72.html
- So very nearly finished, just a little bit of painting, some transfers and a quick varnish.
