Yo-Yo- Jacket

I thought I would share the progress of the hand knit jacket I am working on. Here is the back yoke, both sleeves, and the Left front yoke on the needles. I still have a long way to go. The lower body is the largest part, but I can see progress so far. and I enjoy working with this yarn.

Confusion sets in

Cold turkey for three days no knitting. I have been reading some of my books that I have received for reviews. My poor arthritic hands needed a rest and so did my brain :). I also didn't want to travel with my BIG ball of Sirdar yo-yo yarn and take the chance of getting it dirty. If you have never seen this yarn the balls are huge. Anyway, I will hand knit tonight and I am working on the second sleeve of the jacket. I have also started on a cap sleeve top machine knit.

Finally, I have the pattern and the yarn and I am going to hand knit this jacket.

Mine will be in "Fudge" color and I am excited to get started on it. A Ravelry friend gave me a shawl pin that I will use on the front.
