Well, welcome back to WIP Wed! And the Hooded Cardigan continues -- I'm to the collar on the left front! I've been knitting along during online workshops; Youtube Videos, and podcasts, trying to get this done for you folks! It took a bit of figuring to get the collar to do what I want, so a huge thanks to Techknitter's amazing tutorials to get the collar edge right (and it looks like I can, in fact, have the cables carry up the hood like I wanted!) The next step from what's in the photo is to take the border/cable stitches, put them on scrap yarn, and continue working up to the left shoulder.
Yarn is Tanis Fiber Arts PureWash Fingering in "Ravine Sea", and I did manage to find my third skein (I had a bit of a worry I'd misplaced it somewhere!). And yes, I think I can eek the sweater's smallest size out of 3 skeins -- 3 skeins at 450 yards each gives me 1050 yards, which should be enough though, it will be close.
Needles are my Addi 3.75 mm needles. They're one of the many needles where I've managed to bend them (I have no idea how, but I'm not the most organized person -- they could have easily been left on the couch at one point!)
So, that's what I've been working on this week. And I'm hoping, with my Twitch Streams, to have the front and back done within the next couple of days, which would just leave the sleeves after that!

The *Silver Rose Stitch Markers are marking the cable, because I was, somehow, constantly forgetting where exactly to put the cable. . . even though I've now done this cable for many many rows. I chalk that up to the same part of my brain that can mess up a 8 stitch pattern repeat!.
