Progress!

It's sleeve time!  My goal was to be finished with the body of my Austin Hoodie by the end of February, but I was actually able to get started on my first sleeve!  I'm currently farther along, but our mornings have been cloudy which makes it hard to get good photos.  

I hope to finish the first sleeve soon and be finished with my second sleeve next week.  Then it's just the hood and front edgings.  I still haven't decided what I'll use to face the front edgings, but if I can get all the knitting finished by the end of March, I can submit it for the Hoodie CAL.  Facings can be finished later if I need to.

I'm knitting exclusively on this right now, but I'll be starting a pair of socks later this week.  It's finally Race Week - Formula 1's 2026 season kicks off in Australia this week, and I've learned (the hard way), that I need an autopilot type of sock to work on during Qualifying and the Grand Prix.  Without knitting, I'm just a mess, and anything that requires thought is going to be frogged to correct mistakes.  The yarn and pattern are chosen.  I'll show them to you later this week!
