I haven't got any finished projects this week but I do have some works in progress, two pairs of socks and another cardigan for Freddie.
This pair will be for me, I'm knitting the Jemima pattern by Kay Jones.
This is the pair for Mark, just a plain vanilla pair for him. I'm enjoying knitting on both of these, the stripes seem to knit up quicker and I'm loving the squishyness of the Jemima pattern.
I've never been too fussed about using project bags but I bought the one above last year, It's supposed to be a make up or toiletry bag but as soon as I saw it I knew it would be the perfect size for a sock project, and the fact that It opens right out is so useful.
Stevie bought me this other one for Mothers day, it has an inner zipped pocket which comes in handy.
And they sit so nice and tidy when they are closed, lol.
Freddie is growing so fast so this will be something that he will grow into over the Autumn/Winter. I already had the Drops yarn in stash and I've knit this pattern a few times over the years.
Freddie had his first round of baby injections last Thursday, I went with Stevie as she didn't want to hold him whilst he had them, (I've done this for all my grandchildren, I get to be the villan and mummy gets to console,lol). They now have two injections, one in each leg and there is also an oral one for rotavirus.
It's such a lot to give a small baby and they ended up getting an out of hours GP appointment because he had a temperature, they then said he needed to go to the childrens department at the main hospital. Both his temperature and heart rate were up and they ended up staying in the hospital until Sunday afternoon. He is fine now except he is still getting really loose poo's, Stevie was told to expect that for a couple days because the rotavirus is administered as a live solution so they do get a tiny bit of the virus. You could tell he had belly ache/pain when he cried and he was so out of sorts yesterday.
She's got an appointment with her GP tomorrow just to check him over just to make sure everything is ok because the next round of injections is offered in another three weeks time.
At last the opressive heat has gone and we are back to normal temperatures again, for now at least. It rained here this afternoon,Yayyyyy, first time in a while and it was nice slow rain, the sort that soaks into the ground, so that's good, it means I don't have to water the allotments

I always feel like I should win a prize when I'm the first person to make a comment on a blog, lol. Nice looking socks you're working on and your projects bags are really cute. I well remember those pediatric appointments and shots. I'm reading too many parents are listening to JFK, Jr and not getting the children vaccinated, scary stuff. Cute little gray sweater. We're in the middle of a week long extreme heat advisory, so seems like fall is a long way off. And actually I LOVE summer, but right now we're staying inside and looking out.
I do like those socks.
Hope all is okay with Freddie.
Happy July - but where did June go?
All the best Jan
Both pairs of socks are beautiful, I have a pair to knit, can't be bothered to start them, I should as I could leave them in our sunroom for me to do whilst in there. Hope Freddie is feeling better, poor little man, I use a basket for my projects in house, often Lilly lies in it.
I'm not sure about vaccinations anymore, so difficult to know what to do for the best. Very hard to see little Freddie suffering, hope all is well now. I admire the way you get on with your knitting. I stsrted a project months ago now. it's tricky so I stashed it away. I need to dig it out again and get on with it.
Aww... poor little Freddie... I do hope he's feeling much better very soon. Those vaccinations can cause some issues, but they are so worth it if it prevents them from getting those horrible diseases. Love the socks you are knitting and the little cases are so nice. I'm afraid your oppressive heat has traveled across the pond and is now visiting us here in the U.S. Ugh! 97° (36° C!!!) tomorrow :( But, we are blessed to have air conditioning so we just stay inside. Hope your nicer temps stay with you! ♥
Love your project bags.
God bless.
