WIP Wednesday

I'm working on the same three projects as last week (Hoodie, Dad's blanket, Royal Jazz).  In the last week though, I've only made progress on two.

I've been very excited to work on my first sweater, English Garden Hoodie (Everything Nice Hoodie pattern).  I finally got beyond the pockets!  It was so exciting to join the pockets to the rest of the fabric.

Now I just have to work about 5 more inches in pattern before I have to pause for the sleeves!

I've started the second quadrant for my dad's blanket and I'm already on the 6th square.

I'm trying to stay on a schedule of about a 1/2 a square a day.  We'll see how that goes...

I'm still considering my Royal Jazz a current WIP, but I didn't touch it this past week.  It is easy TV knitting though, so we'll see how it goes for this week.

I've linked up with Tami's Amis.

What are you working on?

WIP Wednesday

Currently I have 3 projects that I'm working on consistently.

My Dad's Blanket has been on the needles for quite some time.  Recently I made a lot of progress.  I've even put myself on a schedule.  I have one quadrant finished (yes quadrant).

I needed to block it because my gauge has changed in the past 2 years.  I've apparently become a much looser knitter as I've gained experience.

I have just over two squares done on the next quadrant.

The next project I have been working on is called Royal Jazz.  It is the pattern Shawl That Jazz.  I'm using Blue Moon Fiber Arts Twisted in color Royal.

The yarn is just amazing.  It is so pretty!!  I'll be using two skeins for this pattern.  I wound one of them while I was in Maryland for Maryland Sheep & Wool (where I purchased the yarn).

The ball was as big as my head!!  This pattern is very easy.  In fact it is my TV knitting.  It is just garter back and forth.  I know the finished product will be totally worth it!

The color is most true in the yarn picture.  The colors are very bold and bright.  I love them.  In the last picture you can see my third project peeking in at the top of the photo.

It is my first sweater!!!  I'm calling it my English Garden Hoodie and the pattern is Everything Nice Hoodie.  I've had this yarn in my stash for a while. 

The yarn is Araucania Tocanao Multy in color English Garden (426).  I think this yarn is now discontinued.

This is a bottom up sweater.  I've almost got to the point where I can join the pocket fronts with the rest of the sweater.

I'm really excited about this sweater.  I really think this is something I would wear a lot.
