Finished Objects:
Fingerless Mittens With Thumbs - Merianna Mel: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/easy-fingerless-mittens---with-thumbs-2
- These mittens are made with an acrylic yarn, unfortunately I can't remember what it was, or find the ball band.
- This is a free pattern and very easy to make.

Flannel - Feather and Fan Dishcloth by Lily Sugar'n Cream and Bernat Design Studio: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/feather-and-fan-dishcloth
- I got this yarn to make myself a face flannel, and there was a free pattern on the ball band, so I used that! The pattern was my first every try at a a tiny bit of lace, and opened my eyes to blocking things.
- The yarn is Lily Cotton, Sugar n' Cream in the Moondance colourway.

Barley Hat - Tin Can Knits: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/barley
- I wanted to make something with this stunning yarn from Gamer Crafting, it is her 100% Merino in the Kind colourway. I decided on the Barley hat as it had a small amount of detail, but wasn't completely plain. The only trouble is, it is too big! So I'm going to rip it out and knit it again.

WIPs:
Mam's Fern & Feather: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/fern--feather-2
- I'm making another Fern and Feather Jumper for my mum. This one is using Malabrigo Rio's yarn in their Cian colourway, the white contrast colour I have used is Rios again, but undyed.
- I am enjoying this jumper just as much as I enjoyed the first, and this time it is all a different shape, which keeps it interesting.

#SocksforSam: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/necker-2
- These started off as a pair of socks for my boyfriend. I decided I didn't like them. The yarn is not sock yarn, and is better off being something else. So I frogged it. I might have to go comfort the boyfriend from the ordeal.

Cancun Boxy Erin Kate Archer: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/cancun-boxy-lace-top
- This is knit in Sirdar Seafarer, not sure of the colourway, but it a navy blue. The yarn has worked up lovely in the pattern. I believe that my tension is quite lose as I've used 6mm needles and the yarn is on the thin side for DK, but after blocking the one half I've made I do like the fabric it has created.

Baby/Toddler Socks: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/baby-socks
- Yes, I'm going to be an Aunty! This is yarn left over from the socks I knitted for my Sister-In-Law for christmas. It is Regia in the Arne and Carlos design line in the Nome colourway. There is no pattern for these socks as I'm making it up as I go along - I just hope they fit!


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.
- The swift is making progress, I may have possibly drilled the holes on the wrong side, but I do manage to put it right(ish) in the end. Take a look and we will see if it all holds up for next time.
