Welcome to this Wednesday's WIP. Today we are featuring our loyal customer and follower, Cate O! Here is her Flax DK Sweater. Cate saw Cheryl's on display in the store and had to make one as a baby gift for her great niece. You can find the pattern as a free download on Ravelry. Cate has chosen to use James C. Brett's Cotton Waves Colour WV04. She is excited that she is going to have enough yarn left over to make a hat to accompany the sweater. It looks like Cate is on the home stretch. Lovely!

Heather is our featured knitter today with her Right as Rain top by Jamie Hoffman of Knitosophy (see Ravelry). Heather says, "I had two skeins of Illimani Sabri Colours and I was able to make size 6. The pattern is well written and has instructions for optional bust darts, body shaping and short rows to lengthen the back. I followed another raveller's suggestion of skipping the yarn overs in the lacework and instead picking up the yarn ladder on the next row, in order to make the holes slightly smaller.
It's beautiful, Heather. love that colour! Our Illimani order arrived this week!

Today, I am showcasing my upcoming new sock! This WIP is a sock pattern that I am working on in a DK weight and I have chosen Estelle DK for this pair. I am excited about the new rib stitch that adorns the cuff of the sock. It looks braided and reminds me of Celtic knotwork. I am using colour #65592 Turquoise Heather. The trickiest part was converting the stitch from being knit flat to working it in the round. I hope to release the pattern before the end of the year. Stay tuned!

Wednesday's WIP this week is from Shelly. This is her Aboreal Fairisle Sweater by Jennifer Steingass and it can be found on Ravelry. Shelley chose to use Estelle Double Knit in Aubergine Heather and Cascade Superwash Wave for the grey tones. Shelley almost changed her mind about the grey colour, but now is super happy she kept knitting. Stay tuned for a second post showing a different photo to follow shortly after this one!
