WIPS.

Missed WIP Wednesday so thought I'd do an update to day.

I got very distracted by a sweater and just had to go get yarn and cast it on....

The passerby sweater by Erika Knight. 

I love everything about the sweater and the yarn. The yarn is maxi Wool  which I bought from the lovely Laura at Wool in Bath, online shopping obviously.

Its knit on 10mm and 12mm needles and is just flying, I got to the sleeve shaping and decided I needed to do a larger size, 

I'm a big gal so have gone for the biggest size. I don't mind close fitting garments but this would have been just too snug. So I ripped it and cast on again. These pics don't do the colour justice it really is gorgeous.

My gauge is almost spot on, but I've grabbed an extra skein just in case. This yarn is gorgeous, its got a gentle sheen and is really soft, its going to be a pleasure to wear. It should also knit up pretty quick, I think  may be a convert to chunky knitting.

I'm still beavering away in the back ground on my Bee sweater

I'm now into the first sleeve and it actually fits well, I made it 2 inches longer and did accidently mix up teh colour pattern on the bottom but I think it looks ok. I am hoping to get this done ready for our first trip out in the van. But might just have to finish my green sweater first...

Right of to work now, apologies that I haven't had time to respond to comments, hoping to spend some time on the blog at the weekend.
