Finished Objects:
Barley Hat - Tin Can Knits: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/barley - this one is knit out of Gamer Crafting DK Merino in the Kind colourway, it is hufflepuff inspired and I love it! This hat was knit first in a size that was way too big for me, for some reason I thought that the small would be too small, even though I know I have a tiny head! Anyway, third time was definitely lucky and I am very pleased with the outcome.

Mam's Fern & Feather: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/fern--feather-2 - Made out of Malibrigo Rios in the Cian colourway, this fern and feather has been on the needles since before christmas and was a present for my Mam. It is finally finished, she loves it and it is being worn as we speak!

Baby/Toddler Socks: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/baby-socks -  A little pair of socks for my nephew who is on the way! These are knit out of Regia Arne and Carlos Design Line in the Nome colourway. This is the same yarn that I knit my sister-in-law a pair of socks out of, I thought it would be cute for them to have mother and baby matchy socks! (I would have done the same for my brother if I had any leftovers from his socks!)

WIPs:
Cancun Boxy Erin Kate Archer: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/cancun-boxy-lace-top - Made out of Sirdar Seafarer, a navy coloured crinkly yarn. I am now more then halfway through the top now, and I am really looking forward to when I can wear it. Definitely loving my yarn choice and slightly larger needle size, as it gives a rather lacy look.

Hermione's Everyday Socks: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/hermiones-everyday-socks -  A little sock project for myself, these are made out of Malabrigo Sock in the Ivy colourway. They are knitting up fast and lovely and I am looking forward to having a lovely pair for myself.

Granny Stripe Blanket: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/granny-stripes - And old faithful. This has been going for years and I added a little more to it to show you. It is getting sizable and is made from all my leftover DK scarps.


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.
