Back with a Plan

Apart from being sick with a horrible viral infection for several weeks, I have been in a bit of a rut with regard to blogging, crocheting, knitting and just things in general. Its now time to try to get back to normal and so I've decided to join the Year of Projects (Year Six) which is a Ravelry group well worth checking out if you're looking for lots of friendship, support and motivation. SO, without further ado .....


As this is my first week, I need to provide my list for the year - in no particular order (links provided)




That should do for a start. As you know, I do lots of projects for charity so the above won't be the only things I hope to make this year. Oh, by the way, Year of Projects runs from July to June so if you want to give it a go, there's still time to join in.

Since I last blogged, I have been supporting a few of the Knit4Charities monthly projects, the most recent, to provide chemo hats for the Canberra Oncology unit. I made six - here's one of them ..


For my regular visitors, its been a few months since you've seen my little grandson Oliver who will be 20 months old next week, so here he is helping celebrate my birthday yesterday.


That's it for now. Hope I still have a few friends out there in the blog-o-sphere (its been sooooo long).

    Hi Dorothy, so nice to see you! I've missed you, great to have you back in blogland :-). Belated Happy Birthday, all the best & lots of luck & health!
    On your list are a lot of pretty things. A Hitchhiker I made some years ago, it's fun and easy to knit. The Call the Midwife blanket is on my list, too, it's so petty! And I've adopted some new patterns from your list right now ;-). Fingerless, Unforgettable and Mapleton. The latter reminds me of the Nena shawl I made last year (and also a second one that I haven't shown up to now), here you can see it if you like:

    But they are not totally equal so maybe I will buy that Mapleton pattern yet again ;-). Wishing you lots of fun working through your list & a happy weekend! Sunny greetings, Nata

    What a handsome boy. His smile is infectious. I'm so sorry you were hit by such an icky bug. Glad you're better. I'm looking forward to seeing your WIP's. It's nice to see some crocheters as part of YOP.
