I've now finished the two sleeves, two fronts, and a good portion of the back.
It stopped pouring long enough for me to take a quick photo of the work in progress.
The pattern name is Cosima from the book Hip Knit Hats. It was made from Tahki Bunny. I used 2 skeins and size 9 needles. It knit up really fast! I completed it in 1 day!
I think that Ava should be my hat model from now on, because I think that hats don't look very flattering on me!
Oh yes.... and I started another new project a few weeks back!
I know, I know, but this is different ok! It is a basic sock (using the formula off of this blog) that I don't have to look at to knit. I'm keeping it in the car to knit (when Im a passenger of course), and at the movie theatre. I've done pretty good on it so far, only 2 minor yarn splitting mistakes! Pretty good for knitting in the dark!
I'm knitting it out of Twisted Sisters sock yarn. I cant remember the name exactly, I cant find the label. I believe its called Zazu in fingering weight. I am using size 0 needles.

Cute hat! I love that sock yarn colorway. I do the same thing - bring a sock with me in service or whenever riding in the car on these roads up in the hills. That's an adorable stand mixer cozy, but the smock coat is being made for a little human that changes sizes rapidly! So, I'd go with finishing that first, and then back to the stand mixer. It's not going to gain or lose size anytime soon!
I love the Smock Coat pattern. And your version is great. I can't wait to see the finished project.
I am working on the smock coat right now and I have a few questions. On the button hole panel of the right front after the first yo row it says to "work 6 more rows (for vertical slot) on these stitches". Does that mean in the yo pattern or seed stitch? Also, on the collar there are two rows where it says to knit 12 slip a stitch, turn and knit to end. When I turn am I knitting back over the 13 stitches (12 knit +1 slip)? Thanks!
