Well, welcome back to another installment of WIP Wed!

Well, I'm continuing work on the Vertical Lines Hat.  I was working on it earlier on my Twitch Stream, but once I got past the ribbing, I couldn't knit and talk, so I switched out to another project.   The cable and lace pattern is complicated enough that it demanded my full attention.   There are a bunch of 7 stitch cables, so yeah, it's not as easy as some of the other stuff I've done. 

That said, it's coming along nicely!
A hat on double-pointed needles.  The hat is knit in fingering-weight pale blue yarn.  Stitch markers with silver rose charms are clipped into the knitting, and elastics are on the end of the double-pointed needles.
Needles are my 3.25 Aero double-pointed needles.  These are inherited needles from my mother, and they're good workhorse needles!  They're duller tips (I find that with most of my Aero needles), but that could be from years and years of use!  They're working just fine for the two-stitch twist, and I'm using a cable needle for the central 7 stitch cables. 


Yarn is *Northbound Knitting Merino/Silk Fingering, in "Ethereal".  I'm still in love with this yarn, though I think that next time I work with it I won't use my Aeros.  It's just slippery enough that it can be a bit tricky to work with on these needles.   And yes, I'm still using my elastic needle stoppers!

The stitch markers are my usual *silver rose stitch markers from *Efficient Sense's Etsy Store. Those who have read other my other blog posts are well aware of how much use these markers get, so it says how much I love them!

Well, thanks for reading this update!  With the colder weather now here, what are you working on this WIP Wed?  I'd love to see in the comments!

P.S.  My online activity will be limited starting tomorrow, as I've been called in for Jury Duty Selection!  Hopefully, it won't take too long, and I'll be back online soon.  If not, don't worry, I'll still be able to respond to messages and such, but blog posts and such will likely slow down.
