The first is Uma, a top down cardigan that is full of interesting techniques. The plan is to have this sweater done by the week of the 20th, which should be doable since I've already completed the only seaming (at the neckband) and have started to weave in some ends already).
Above is my progress as of Sunday morning, but yesterday I managed to knit a sleeve cap and add a couple of inches to the length. Interestingly, I discovered yesterday that I have never knit a short-row sleeve cap before. I'm very familiar with short rows and hiding wraps, but I've just never used the technique for a sleeve cap. So that was interesting and looks great (trust me on that) so far. I think I'll have to come up with some excuses to knit short-row sleeve caps more often.
My next WIP is from a Knit Picks kit, Apirka Socks. These will definitely be a long term WIP so I don't get burned out on the stranding and end up burying these in the WIP basket. I'm working these (sort of) two-at-a-time on two sets of needles. Mostly so I don't have to remember the needle changes I'm making to get these to fit. It's slow going knitting on both socks at once, but hopefully, this will help me avoid SSS.
In other news, I got the next Santa's Village chart in the mail over the weekend. I'll be ordering some floss and hopefully, will find some time to squeeze in stitching time before the end of the month.
