WIP Wednesday


Ok so last week I had nothing that was knitted going on well I've actually been through my knitting basket and found a couple of things I'd for gotten about.

Firstly is a jumper I started knitting for DS2. He's grown a bit though since I started this so I don't think it would fit him if I carried on and finished it so am going to undo it and start something else I think. I was using Debbie bliss cashmarino for it so it feels lovely and I don't want to waste it so am thinking maybe a nice shawl for me perhaps.


The second thing is a cardigan/jacket I started for myself with some wool dyed by angels and elephants. Its taken me a bit to find the pattern (couldn't remember where I got it from) but its this one the drops circle jacket I think anyway. Once I found the pattern though I couldn't figure out where in it I was so have undone it and started again


Please have a look at Tami's blog to see what other people have been up to this week

  1. Good plan to repurpose the yarn for yourself - no point finishing the sweater if it'll never fit! Bet it'll make a gorgeous shawl too ;)

  4. That blue cashmerino will make a pretty shawl. It always feels good when I get a fresh start on WIPs that had been languishing.

  5. Hi Sal, I need to do the same with a cardi I started for DD actually - no point if it won't fit, but that yarn is so pretty I'd certainly make something yummy with it! xxx

  8. I too have several projects that the kids will have long grown out of! The jacket is very similar to the pinwheel sweater I've knitted. Love the yarn you have chosen x

  10. Unwinding is a Ravelympics event, so it must be some kind of progress. No point in wasting nice yarn on something that won't fit1
