First off, before I get into WIPW, I wanted to let you all know about my Easter /Passover sale at candyskein.com! I'm offering 15% off now through March 31st. Just enter code EASTERSALE at the time of checkout.
Also, don't forget that Holly (Sillylittlelady) and I have a KAL starting on April 15th! For full details, please visit this post.
Now to WIPW!
I have something new to share with you today! I got the sweater itch the other day, so I cast on Jane Richmond's Ladies Classic Raglan Pullover. I wanted something mindless to work on, and a pullover (which I have yet to make) that I could just throw on with anything and go. I'm using Candy Skein Yummy Worsted in a new colorway (though a slightly lighter version of it), Watermelon! I am so excited about this project. I have two more rows before I cast on a few more stitches for the front of the neck and join! I have to say, I'm also very excited because this might be the first project I got gauge using the correct needles (both row AND stitch) the first time! Remember how tight I used to knit!?! So exciting!
That's it for me today. I hope you all have a great rest of the week. I'll see you back here Friday where I show you my Variance finished (or at least blocking)!

Love the colour. I'm definitely in on the kal. cant wait to start :D
ReplyDeleteI can't wait either! I haven't made the shawl yet myself!
DeleteI love the colour of the yarn you are using, its very fruity looking :) I sometimes wish I could knit things better than a scarf :P
ReplyDeleteIf you practiced you could totally make more than a scarf! As long as you know knit and purl you can make anything!
DeleteGreat color, watermelon is the perfect name for it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The actually colorway it a little more magenta but I thought this lighter version would suit me better.
DeleteGorgeous! I'm making little Easter surprises today. Bunny number one has stripes of Candy Skein's First birthday colourway in her top. Can I just say once again how I LOVE that colour!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't wait to see the bunnies!!
DeleteLove the pattern, you can't beat a classic pullover for an easy casual look........gorgeous shade of yarn.
ReplyDeleteExactly! I think everyone needs a simple pullover in their wardrobe.
DeleteI've always loved the way a raglan fit, lays so nicely. Love the color you've chosen, must check out the pattern...if and when I ever seem to have time to make something for mawah...someday maybe.
ReplyDeleteI think raglan is the best fit, at least for me! I love how easy it is as well.
DeleteIt's a great pattern - I wear mine all the time! That's a really spring-y colour :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great to know!! I had yet to talk to someone who has made it! I love the way she writes her patterns!
DeleteIt has been a long time since I knit a raglan sweater. I love the color you chose, so springlike!
ReplyDeleteLovely colour for the sweater. Goiong to go and have a look at the pattern now.x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn! I have yet to do a sweater...maybe next Fall or winter.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour of your yarn, it will make a gorgeous sweater :)
ReplyDeleteSpring just screams "Must have pink!", doesn't it? Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like the points of that shawl. I wish I could join along but too much on my plate. I'll have fun watching from the sidelines.
ReplyDeleteThe watermelon colorway is great for this so-called spring and so Easterish. I just might order some yarn.
Oooh, an Easter yarn sale! Because yarn that was bought on sale doesn't count as 'stash' ; )
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm following Candy Skein on instagram! Love her yarns!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I feel an utter fool! It's you!!!! I've known about your blog for a few years now, I've tried to add the Mister Linkie widget to my blog but it says there's an error :S Fantastic blog, and yarns! Squeeee!
ReplyDeleteI love your work!I love the color!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting. I'm a new follower. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYum, raspberry pink........delicious yarn.
