What are you working on this week? Are you making good progress?

Dear community,

Are you all keeping busy this week? What are you working on right now? Have fun, everyone.

Yesterday I cut out lederhosen for our boy dolls; Martina is sewing the matching shirts to go with them, but today I couldn’t get to the sewing machine because I was in so much pain.

Best regards, Inge

@Inge – Lederhosen are just right for the Wiesn opening. I can’t wait to see how smart your boys will look. 

@Ina—Knitting for your grandchild—is there a nicer thing to do? Definitely not. He’ll be nice and warm this winter.

I’m working on hedgehog dens again this week. The hedgehog rescue centers are full of babies, so they’re needed. 

So my UFO has been on hold for a few days now. 

Nothing on the needles—I need to pick something out again first. I didn’t bring anything with me on vacation (just a thick book), and I walked so much that I collapsed into bed right away every night.

I’m making pretty good progress this time—the second sleeve will be done soon, and then I just need to edge the neckline. After that, I’ll wash the sweater first; the yarn could go in the machine at 30°, but I think a quick hand wash will be enough for now once it’s finished.😇

The yarn 🧶 is gradient yarn; the skein consists of the four colors used here and weighed 200 g. The entire body section is made from a single 200-gram skein—so it goes a long way. Since I bought three skeins of this yarn—600 g total—I’ll have quite a bit left over. 
I actually unwound the other two skeins and rewound them by color so that I can match the sleeves to the body—I wouldn’t have liked it any other way, since the color gradients are really, really long. Knitted with size 3.0 needles; the cuff with size 2.25. The white threads at the top of the sleeves still mark the end of the raglan line and the held sleeve stitches; those will, of course, be removed. 😉 The yarn is nice and light yet cozy—I’ve already noticed that after trying it on several times. I deliberately didn’t work the pattern across the entire front; the back and sleeves are also knitted in stockinette stitch.

Best regards, Regina
