What a weekend. We went to Paris very early on Saturday morning and came back on Sunday night. I am EXHAUSTED, and the children are foul, as they would be with so little sleep. It sounds so glamourous, 48 hours in Paris; does it break the spell to say that it was my grandmother's 90th birthday, and we didn't stay in Paris itself but in a small but anonymous hotel in her village, half an hour out of the centre? Probably a bit, but we had a great time, and I have some photos once I get them off the camera.
Some things from the list:
A FINISHED OBJECT
Stuff I am actually working on actually.
The Weather in the Streets blanket
Even slighter progress this week on this one. I've got 18 loose squares now.
Yellow squares - 123/143 done - 20 to go
Blue squares - 63/72 done - 9 to go
Grey squares - 79/102 - 23 to go
Turquoise squares - 4/11 done
Red squares - 8/10 done
Pinky-Red squares - 8/10 done
Purple squares - DONE
Dark Green squares - DONE
Pale Blue square - DONE
Pale Yellow square - DONE
Dark Blue square - DONE
Vianne cardigan - another Andi Satt pattern, this time for the outfit along 2015. Because I am awkward, I am making it with a plain back. It's a good pattern, but I've never been one for masses of lace everywhere. I knitted quite a lot of it on the plane yesterday, and it's coming along well. Turns out I only have about 6 balls of the yarn I've earmarked for it, so I will use that up and probably (totally) buy more for the Petrie top.
Stuff I am not really working on, but saying I am as it makes me feel less like a grasshopper and more like an ant.
Wisteria jumper - Still needing a bloody sleeve.
Hexipuff quilt - least said, soonest mended.
Peacock Mitten
It is doubtful whether these will be started this month.

It's Andi Satterlund's Miette cardigan, which will go with my two Miette skirts. I made it with the wrong weight of yarn, DK instead of Worsted, which was a bit of a mistake, but it will be lighter weight for Summer. I wore it today, and it was a bit too warm, but then it's been rubbish and humid in London today.
NB It looks better on than in the photo, but I am having a bad hair day so there are to be NO PHOTOS.

The new list is shaping up to be depressingly similar to the old one; ho hum. Fewer socks for the children though as they keep on growing, and it wears me out.
