Here’s the #DropsBardu jumper I’m #knitting for #WIPWednesday I’ve switched from the denim blue background to a white background with a sea blue pattern. And I’m just starting on a bit with a sea blue background. It’s about 20cm of yoke now.

I missed the daylight to photograph my jumper for #WIPWednesday so the blue here is a pretty lousy representation but you can see the colour work starting. The first narrow band of dots are in a different colour (fog) to the wider later band (pearl grey). I find that it’s difficult to see exactly how the colour work looks until you are well past knitting it. It doesn’t look right until there’s a few more rows to put it in context.

The start of a denim blue knitted jumper with paler blue & grey fair isle bands. This is top down knitting so the neckband & the yoke are being knitted.

Well it’s not #WIPWednesday any more but this is my work in progress that I started yesterday that I didn’t have any daylight to photograph. I wanted a reason to record the progress all the same.

It’s the neckband of a jumper in Drops Air, denim blue. I bought this yarn three years ago shortly before we got into house moving mode and now have no idea what I was planning to knit with it. I have lots of off white and four different shades of grey and blue. This is the darkest.

I’ve found one of the free Drops patterns #DropsBardu that I like, have a rough idea for how I’m using the colours, let’s see how it goes.

I’d kind of forgotten how super relaxing #knitting is since my last project (one blanket too many) has been stalled forever. Now I just want to knit & knit!
