WIP Wednesday

I have two sweaters on and off the needles this Wednesday.  It's very exciting!  At least it's exciting for a knitting nerd.  A couple weeks ago I showed my Beer Sweater in progress.  Today it has a completed back and one a a half completed side panels.  As you can see to the lower right there is a hole left in the fabric for a pocket.  I am so very excited for a sweater with a pockets.  By next week I hope there will be a sleeve to show too.

 This is my Bayside Pullover.  I started it early in the year but didn't quite manage to finish before summer took hold.  Summer came on strong and early here this year.  This sweater sat for the last few months with just the bottom ribbing to go.  I finally got it off the needles last weekend when we had a cool and rainy day.  Ends needs to be woven and blocking needs to be done.  Looking forward to a new sweater for my wardrobe! 

The yarn used was Knitted Wit single ply fingering for those interested.  This sweater is definitely an accomplishment.  My first pullover and it was knit in fingering on size 4 needles.  That's a lot of stockinette, people!

I loved this pattern.  It is such a classic design, simple and gently fitted with just a little bit of flair with the raglan cables running down the side.  Totally my style.
