I have finished something though in the last two weeks. Duncan wanted a Geelong hoodie, and given that he loves his handknits so much, I agreed that this should be done.
Rather than strict Geelong hoopss I opted for a more abstracted Geelong approach (read, I did it in navy and white). Duncan decided that he didn't want sleeves so I have just finished off the arm holes with a few rows of garter. To be honest I could have kissed the boy when he said he didn't want sleeves, I was getting pretty sick of the whole kit and caboodle.
This is knit in Bendigo luxury 8ply. I still can't rave enough about this yarn. The hoodie that I made Rohan is wearing really well. As I suspected it needed a shave (and may need another) but it is blissfully soft underneath the fuzz and kid's handknits should only be machine washable if you ask me.
I now have some Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran on the needles that I am trying to turn into a vest. Hopefully it won't be another 2 weeks before that is done.

We're having a fabulously lazy Sunday here too!
The hoody looks great and I totally agree - all kids clothes MUST be able to be machine washed!
that number 2 son of yours looks so cute with his newly lost toothless smile! Yes it's been a slow and boring couple of weeks here too..
Very nice hoodie, and nice of him to pose for you. That Luxury is great, isn't it? I must get some more 10ply....
