Finished Objects:
Hermione's Everyday Socks: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/hermiones-everyday-socks - Knitted on 2mm DPNs and in Malibrigo Sock yarn in the Ivy colourway. I love these socks and will now become Lottie's everyday socks! ;)

Baby Barley: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/barley-2 This is knit in Gamer Crafting 100% Merino DK in the Kind colourway. I definitely did make my new nephew a matching hat with myself... Who wouldn't.

Baby Flax: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/flax This is another baby knit for my new nephew. This is done in King Cole Riot DK, in two colours, caribbean and neon, to create an awesome rainbow stripe thing going on!

Margot Pyjamas Tilly and the Buttons: https://shop.tillyandthebuttons.com/products/love-at-first-stitch - These pyjamas are comfy but bodged, I'll recommend measuring yourself properly before cutting into your precious fabric! The pattern is included in the book Love at First Stitch, after a quick search I'm not sure if you can get it separately, but the book is well worth it! I thought I new a little bit about sewing, but this book has taught me so much.

WIPs:
Cancun Boxy Erin Kate Archer: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/cancun-boxy-lace-top - yes it is STILL a WIP, but we are getting there. And yes I haven't done anything on it since you last saw it... But I am still enjoying it, I'll knit a little on it today!

Socks for Mam: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/mams-afterthought-socks - I am making another pair of socks for my mother, this time out of West Yorkshire Spinners signature 4 ply in the Kingfisher colourway, on 2.5mm DPNs. These will have contrast heels and toes and an afterthought heel. The first time I've done either.

Baby Cross Stitch: https://www.sewandso.co.uk/product/train-birth-record-cross-stitch-kit/1001851 - another little thing for my nephew, he already seems to be a little bit spoiled.
