I’m a little late posting my update. It’s been a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK. With that comes the tradition of DIY.

This week I have been focussing on a couple of my Works in Progress (WIPs)

Deer Friends

I have been really enjoying stitching on Deer Friends. The pattern is by Plum Street Samplers.

At the start of this year, I had very little completed. Now, I’ve exceeded the 50% mark. I started this on 14 September 2020.

Project Details: stitched on 40ct hand-dyed Newcastle linen using my own conversion, 1 strand over 2.

Ridgeline Duster

I have gotten a few more rows completed on this cardigan. It’s really difficult to show my progress at the moment. Here’s the photos from last week. This is a pattern from Chantel at Knitatude. I started this on 26 July 2026.

Project Details: knit on 5.50mm (US 9) needles using James C Brett Shhh DK in Whisper Grey.

Advent Banner

I have paused progress on my Advent Banner as I sadly ran out of DMC 927. I placed an order last week for a skein to be able to finish the banner. I started this on 7 July 2022. This is so close to a finish.

Project Details: stitched on 14ct plastic canvas from Darice using DMC thread 2 strands over 1.

That’s it for this week. Hope your week has been a good one.
