First up is the Nicole Jacket I finally got past the armhole shaping and am close to starting the shoulder shaping.
It seems like it has taken forever to get past the armhole decreases because of my inability to knit & watch the National Geo channel. This pattern has driven me more nuts than usual because the pattern is knit on the wrong side...you can't tell if you're still right unless you continually flip back & forth or you just go for it and realize you're off as you get to the last 5 stitiches. I thought of using stitch patterns, but I'd need one every 4 stitches...so I just decided I won't work on it if there's really something I have to see on National Geo.

My second big project is the Central Park Hoodie...moving quickly there. I'll finish the right front this evening. This weekend I may go ahead and block the fronts and back so I can 
seam it up and try the darn thing on. The arms I'm thinking will be done in the round so I'll have a bit less seaming. Although I've thought about doing them together on one circular I doubt I'll go that route...too much thinking about which sleeve is which so the cables aren't flipped. So far my only problem with CPH is the 2nd cable I forgot to do on the left front. At least I noticed before I'd gotten the entire front done. Decided to frog back to it rather than take out the stitches just for the cable...turned out to be much faster than messing with picking up the stitches for 4 sets of cables.

ock has been a bit neglected this week. I did work on it while sitting in a waiting room, but I'm just not loving this yarn at all. I don't like the feel of it and the patterning isn't matching as well as I think it should...afterall I did start at almost the same spot, but the design is not as crisp and clear as the first sock. I'm not ripping it back because as much as I hate to say it...just don't care about this sock.

It's now 72" long w
hich may be long enough, but I just might add another set or 2 of squares since I still have yarn left & I love long wraps. I ended up buying 2 more skeins of the Noro Silk Garden Lite in the colorway I used the least in order to knit the sides. Maybe the darn thing will be all done by the end of next month...will need to plan out the sides. I'm so type A that I want to match the two long sides...crazy right?
