Having cut out all the pieces for my quilt by 3rd April, progress ground to a halt as we went away for a long weekend followed by Easter at home with Family. I finally managed to start sewing the pieces together last Wednesday and have achieved my promised hour every day since then…
With the exception of the button/buttonhole bands, I had finished my cable cardigan before we went away, so took it with me to sew up. I wanted to block it before I made the button/buttonhole bands, as I thought it would be easier to attach/make them, however, the fakery cowl beat it to the blocking mats and hogged them all over Easter as I was distracted elsewhere. But finally, it’s now being blocked…
Although I finished several project in April, apart from a few DYC designs I’m working on, I’ve only started one project this month- a cable sweater…
Apart from that, my only other project is Lovely Husband’s Christmas Jumper that I may have knitted half a row of, so is definitely a WIP and not a UFO 🙂
Can’t believe I’ve so few knitting projects on the go!
Hope you’ve had a productive April too.

Fun fun fun 🙂 I tend to call things a WIP right up until they get frogged, so you’re stricter with the term than I am!

That cable cardigan is right up my alley! Are you sure you’re not going to be releasing a pattern for it?
Well done with the quilt progress. Is that the top finished now?

Thank you. You’ll be pleased to hear this lady is for turning 🙂 I’ve decided I will release it, but I do need to get my head around writing it up. It’s a lot more than I’ve done so far, although that doesn’t bother me in itself, but it’s a lot more calculations and stuff to put together. So may be a while.
No, loads more top to go on the quilt.

Woohoo! No rush – I won’t need it now until around November when it starts to get a bit nippy 😉

Thanks. Lots of other things to get together at the moment, although I need to at least get it properly drafted reasonably soon or I won’t be able to decipher my notes 🙂

It is all very colourful and textureful and lovely! I’m still impressed you can do more than one thing at a time and not get muddled. Doesn’t matter when you finish things as long as they get finished sometime 🙂

Thank you. Although I started that Christmas sweater over a year ago, so it would be really nice to have it made by Christmas this year 🙂
