I seem to have more projects in hand at present than usual so I thought I'd do a progress report post on the knitting projects I have on needles at present.

1. 1897 star and leaves circular shawl

The body of the shawl is more than half knit, but I ran of out yarn a month ago. The yarn was supposed to be back in stock in the latter part of August, but that date has slipped to Labor Day weekend. I hope it doesn't slip more than that.

I actually wouldn't be too excited about working on it right now while the temperatures are over 100. It has gotten big enough that it's rather a lap full of wool, which is not very agreeable at present.

2. 1930's bedjacket/cardigan

I finished the first sleeve over the weekend and cast on the second one. I'm on my third ball of yarn. This one is progressing nicely, partly because it's the project I usually work on at lunchtime after I've finished eating.

I still have a long way to go because I still have to knit the back, the second side of the front, and the second sleeve. Yes, I know knitting the sleeves before the body is weird, but I was trying to gauge how much more yarn I would need after I used more on the front than I had anticipated.

3. 1939 suimsuit

I haven't done a lot with this one yet. In a fit of backwardness, I started this even though I only had the contrast yarn and not the main yarn so I started with one of the brassiere and strap pieces and am working my way down the strap. I still have another foot to go to finish this piece. I ordered the yarn for the main body of the swimsuit over the weekend and will start on it after it arrives.

My main project continues to be my cross-stitched Christmas stocking, but if I get tired of that, I expect the swimsuit will bubble up and take over my evenings for a bit.
