Well, welcome back to WIP Wed! And today, is further progress on the (creatively named) Hooded Cardigan! Name suggestions are welcome -- hop on over to Patreon and suggest a name)!
So, with a solid day of knitting at a local coffee shop; I'm -almost- to the estimated point of splitting for the front and back. CYC Size Guidelines tell me that neck to natural waist for this size should be 16 inches. I'm working 17 inches to the underarms, to give a bit more length and some space for the pockets to sit -- this puts the pockets 2 inches above the natural waist (if I've done my math correctly!) And, I'm currently at 16.5 inches of work, so, wish me luck! I might even get there today (and if not, probably tomorrow on Twitch!)
Yarn is Tanis Fiber Arts PureWash Fingering in "Ravine Sea", and it's a wonderful colour, though there's a subtle-but-visible difference between my two skeins -- I'm glad I chose to alternate skeins! It's a OOAK (One of a Kind) colour that I got from *Tanis' Etsy Shop, and I'm glad I was lucky enough to get some!
Needles are my Addi 3.75 mm needles, and yes, they're a touch bent. I'm not entirely sure when that happened, but, those needles are old enough I'm not surprised!

The red yarn hanging free is holding live stitches, that will be done up as a pocket as part of the finishing -- and the *shell stitch markers are from *WineMakersSister's Etsy Shop -- they are on lobster claws, but, in this case, I've just hooked the clap over the needle and am using it like a ring stitch marker.
So, that's what I've been working on this week! And, as always, I'd love to see what you're working on, too, so, please, feel free to post links to your projects in the comments, so I can see all the amazing things that you folks make! Also, if you're working on one of my patterns, tag it as #sarahdawnsdesigns so I can find you on Social Media and stare at your awesome projects!
Until next week, and Happy Crafting!
