I don’t often take photos of my WIPs, but I’ve decided to try something new, to make WIP posts more interesting (not just for you wonderful people, but for me, too!). From now on, when I have a WIP on the go, I’m going to do a photo collage of other things that reflect the colour of my WIP, all with my own photos:

As you can tell, My new WIP is red. Classic, lovely, amazing red. How do I not yet own a red sweater? This seems like a massive wardrobe oversight.

And here is my WIP, the lovely, classic Oatmeal Pullover in progress:

I love that it’s bulky (knitting in Cascade Eco Wool, which is a lovely bulky weight yarn and knits up rather quickly on 6mm (US 10) needles.  This is what I cast on when I decided one of my 5 goals for winter would be to knit a cozy sweater, and this will be wonderfully cozy- I’ve been trying it on as I go, and I get more excited about it each time I do! But let’s not overlook that super awesome project bag, a wonderful birthday gift from my thoughtful in-laws all the way from England. It’s a durable canvas, and a nice size for a big bulky sweater! I love it- it’s simple, it’s durable, and I completely agree with the quote.
