Finished Objects:
Fern & Feather: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/fern--feather
- This is knitted with Countess Ablaze yarn, the green is the Footloose (Funk Remix) colourway and the white is the undyed colour. They are both on the Grande Merino DK base - lovely and squishy! The jumper is knitted mostly on a 4mm needle, and I may have made it a size or two too small, the body is a little too short, but I adjusted the sleeves to make them longer.
Gift Knit Socks: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/alison-socks
- A pair of socks made ready for a christmas present. They are knitted on Regia yarn, the Arne and Carklos design line in the Nome colourway. I have made these with a 2.5mm needles and with garter stitch heels and toes.
Gift Project Bag Make: A quick bag I've sewn up myself without a pattern.
- This bag is made from two fat quarters from the same fat quarter pack that I picked up in Hobbycraft. I made up the pattern myself, but it is a simple lined back with a zip on the top. It is designed to be a project bag for someone this christmas so doesn't have any interfacing. But I might try that next time.

WIPs:
Mam's Fern & Feather:https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/fern--feather-2
- Another Fern & Feather! This one made out of Malabrigo Rios in their Cian colourway and the Natural colourway (probably just undyed) for the contrast yoke. This is a few sizes bigger then my one and I'm hoping I will get it done sooner rather than later. But Mam already knows she probably wont get it for Christmas.
#SocksforSam:https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/necker-2
- The Necker socks for Sam. These socks have seen slow progress with all the other christmas makes going along as well at the moment. But I have finally completed a couple of repeats on them. I am using some Bergère de France Calinou, in the Grenadine colourway for this pair. Although they might not be suitable for socks (I'll make him another pair!) The colour is just perfect for showing up the pattern.


Acquisitions:
Malabrigo Rios - Cian and Natural colourways, used for Mam's Fern & Feather
GamerCrafting Pamper Pack - One skein of Yak Sock from GamerCrafting, Two soaps from Bean & Boy and a lovely tea from Herbaceous Blends.
- The tea is the tasteyest and the yarn is the prettiest, and the soap, well I haven't tried it yet, but Angie from Gamercrafting says it is brilliant so there we go!

In The Shed:
Yarn Swift: Don't watch this if you are a joiner/carpenter - you might cry... Anyway. I'm trying my best to make a yarn swift, its not looking good.
