[W.I.P. Wednesday] November 6th, 2013

W.I.P. Wednesday is a weekly post where we will spotlight one or more of our currently ongoing projects (works in process).

This week I (Gwenyth) spent time bouncing between a few projects (crafter's ADD), and still squeezed in quite a bit of homework!

I progressed quite a bit further in my version of Bergere de France's Sleeveless Sweater mentioned last week. I am on the final section of the front and the flow of the colours is simply stunning (and super soft)!

This week I also started messing around with a Creeper hat for my son due to his love obsession with Minecraft. I am using a simple basic hat pattern and will use duplicate stitch when I am complete to graph in the Creeper face. I am using Americo's Organic Cotton Merino in Kiwi.

And finally, a special project I was inspired to work on due to both my infatuation with Doctor Who together with the 50th anniversary Doctor Who Revisited specials that have been running, I have decided to undertake a season 12 Tom Baker scarf... I will be using Wool of the Andes (Worsted) from Knit Picks in the colour scheme suggested on doctorwhoscarf.com. I even bought a nifty pair of harmony wood knitting needles to work on!

This one might take a while!

W.I.P. Wednesday is a weekly post where we will spotlight one or more of our currently ongoing projects (works in process).

This week I focused mainly on two projects, and a whole lot of homework! I continued working on the sweater for my son. I have finished the first pattern section and am now on the second pattern section, which is seed stitch. Unfortunately I have not take a new picture yet.\

I also started a version of Bergere de France's Sleeveless Sweater. I am using some of my favourite Americo yarn, Eco Alpaca DK, double stranded, to created the same variegated look. I am doing the first one in Mulberry and Seashell, and plan on doing a second one in Dark Ocean and Seafoam. I am loving the look and it's soooooo soft!

Crochet

I have been working on the long hooded cape by Maggie's Crochet for a little while now. Here is an updated picture of my current status. I am using the Starlette yarn from Mary Maxim.

Knitting

I have been messing around with an interesting older Lion Brand poncho pattern that incorporates a Boucle yarn and a ribbon yarn. I am quite enjoying it. Here is my progress so far. I am using some of the Soft Boucle yarn from Bernat that I scored at the Spinrite summer tent sale and some discontinued Lion Brand Incredible Rainbow ribbon yarn that I tracked down through with Ravelry stashes.

And yes...this is the same ribbon yarn that starred in the below picture on our Tumblr site. It seems one of my cats (or dogs) really likes the ribbon yarn as well...

Lastly, I am currently working an a sweater for my son. He typically doesn't take much interest in my knitting or crocheting, but he saw this one sweater and really liked it and asked for it, so I am going to see how this works out! It is a sweater from the newest Bergere de France catalog and I am using the Organic Cotton Merino from my favourite lys (local yarn store), Americo.
