Knitted Pullover Progress as of June 8

In my last post, I mentioned my two WIPs:  Nuuk from Jonna Hietala (using Noro Tennen yarn “Alpine” colorway) and the second is Wedge Yoke Lace Pullover by Eunny Jang (using Louisa Harding Trenzar yarn “Pumpkin” colorway). 

I was hoping to be finished with at least one of them by now, but life has prevented that from happening…more specifically, my sore wrist has prevented that from happening. I have made progress, however, which I’m picturing below. Progress is progress, right?

I’ve been watching several classes on Bluprint (formerly Craftsy), using my subscription (and “own forever” classes) since they’ve announced they’re going to close everything down at some point in the future. Apparently, we’re supposed to be able to download our “own forever” classes, but we won’t have access to the subscription classes after they shut everything down. That could be a year or more from now–they haven’t said yet–but I’m soaking up as much knowledge as I can before everything does shut down. (I have at least 30 “own forever” classes that I’ll have to download since I’ve been on Craftsy since 2015). The Wedge Yoke Lace Pullover by Eunny Jang is from one of those Bluprint classes…as was my first seamless raglan sweater project that I recently finished.

Memorial Day Week: 2 New Projects & (more) New Yarn

I’ve started two new knitting projects as of Memorial Day…both of which are raglan style knitted tops. The first one is Nuuk from Jonna Hietala (using Noro Tennen yarn “Alpine” colorway) and the second is Wedge Yoke Lace Pullover by Eunny Jang (using Louisa Harding Trenzar yarn “Pumpkin” colorway). The first is worsted weight yarn and the second is chunky weight, so they should work up quickly (and have so far). I’m alternating projects…knitting one in the morning and one in the evening so I don’t get bored with either.

Here are pics of my progress as of two days ago:

On Friday, I stopped by a Huntsville, AL yarn shop, Fiber Artwork, and picked up some British wool yarns: Lore by The Fibre Co. and Soft Donegal 2-ply by Studio Donegal. On Saturday, I revisited Thread in Florence, AL for more Hedgehog Fibres yarn and another bar of lotion by Love+Leche–this time in Lemongrass scent.
