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.

Lemmon Juicer Podcast Ep 9: The one with only one WIP.

Welcome to the Lemmon Juicer Podcast, get comfy and I hope you enjoy.

I appologise for the bad lighting, there was no natural light, so hopefully this only a one off.

Finished Objects:
Blue Skirt: A pattern drafted from instructions on how to make your own circle skirt: https://seweasysewing.blogspot.com/2014/03/diy-circle-half-circle-skater-skirts.html
- This was made using some old fabric that my Granny gave to me, and I believe used to be a skirt for a dress of some kind. It is a lovely shimmery navy blue colour, and may just be ever so slightly shorter on one side then the other due to my dodgy hemming skills! ;)

Space Shuttle: UPDATE - I was rather silly and didn't check on Ravelry for the pattern, here it is: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/space-shuttle
- This shapce shuttle I crocheted out of DK yarn. I used some acrylic yarn from Hobbycraft, some Bonus DK and some of their WI range in the colours I needed (Black, White and Orange). The pattern was easy to follow, and my friend loved it.

Gift Knit Socks: This is my own vanilla sock recipe, 64 sts on a 2.5mm needle. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/colly-socks
- These were made using Regia Pairfect socks from the Arne and Carlos design line. The colourway was their Garden colourway I believe, but they do have a lovely christmassy feel to them, which is perfect seeing as they will be a christmas gift.

WIPs:
Fern & Feather: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/fern--feather
- This is a lovely pattern by Jennifer Steingass, and I have used Countess Ablaze yarn, the green is their Footloose (Funk Remix) colourway and the white is the undyed yarn. These are both on their Grande Merino base. Which is a superwash and very cuddly!

- I did struggle a fair amount with this make, and I think I just need to go back to the drawing board. If you do have any suggestions then that would be greatly appreciated, I need to figure this one out!
