Work in Progress Wednesday 140

Hi everyone! I hope your week is working out to your liking. I just wanted to take a moment for those in the Boston area, or who have friends/family there, my thoughts are with you. What a terrible
 tragedy. :(

As far as WIPW, I have progress on the sweater and a new project to share:

 In this picture, I was an inch away from finishing the 1x1 ribbing, and I actually did tonight after this picture was taken. The body is now bound off and tomorrow I'll hopefully have time to pick up the neck stitches and knit the collar band. I can't believe how fast this sweater has progressed. It's amazing what worsted weight yarn can do after using fingering so often. Again, I'm using Candy Skein Yummy Worsted in colorway Watermelon (though it's a slightly lighter version of the colorway. The pattern is the Ladies Classic Raglan Pullover by Jane Richmond.

This is the start of the Sweet Summer Rays Shawl by Holly Priestley . I have to increase until I hit 30 stitches between the markers and then move onto the main pattern/body of the shawl. I'm using Sweet fingering in new Candy Skein colorway Foil Wrapper. I thought the rays of the shawl would look beautiful in silver (gray). Due to the content of the yarn (50% merino/50% silk), this yarn really does look like it's silver thread. It's gorgeous! I'm making this for an ongoing KAL we have over at Holly's Ravelry group. It's ongoing until May 15th, so there's still time to join in!

That's it for me today. I hope you have a great rest of your week.
