This week has come and gone in a flurry it now seems and I am happy to report that some progress has been made on my year of project list.

I had a lovely couple of days at the beginning of the week, catching up with friends sharing latte’s and maybe the odd cake here and there! I have enjoyed several long walks with the dogs through the autumnal leaves that are now carpeting most of the fields and parks nearby.

We also had a Parent’s evening thrown in mid week – which was a pleasure on all 3 counts I am both pleased and proud to say. Even work has come and gone quickly this week and so I find myself as I write this at the start of half term, looking forward to and easing into a long weekend (4 days) to be precise, of fun and family and no alarm clock!!!
I have some finishes to show you, if you are a regular reader you will have already seen a couple of them in the last 2 posts….


If however, you have not read the finished posts, more details on patterns and yarn can be found on these links:
Beanies
Poppies
I did manage another brain wave beanie, this time for Mr. R, who was super thrilled as he is working on a roof this coming week.

I loved the beanies and the poppy is just gorgeous. Your week sounds lovely, especially the lattes and cake part and I sure do miss those long walks with the dogs, I’m itching to go kick up some leaves with them. I hope you enjoy your long weekend, we have mid-term this week also and I can’t wait.

Sounds like a lovely week.
I do love the brainwave beanies (I wonder if my boys would wear them – Luke hates anything itchy on his head :-()
Hope the 4 alarm-clock-free days were/are good! We’re enjoying a half term of lie-ins and a Halloween party on Friday! xx
