Good, Better, Better Still, Bad and Beyond

Friday - Added rolled collar detail to Gathered Pullover - Good...
Saturday en route to and from cottage - knit sleeve #1 - Better...

Sunday finished sleeve one and started sleeve two - Better Still...

This morning tallied yarn used and yarn remaining - BAD!

This knit will ultimately require about 960 yards or 78% of the yarn required by the pattern! That drives me nuts! I will have to distract myself from this irritation by fact that this piece is a) Red - always something that soothes me and b)is on the verge of completion despite being on the project list for less than two weeks! I'm looking forward to working on this tonight but probably only after I whip up one of these in preparation for tomorrow - thank you Laura! (At least I have lots of red yarn available!)


BTW here is a satisfying post to both read and see - Scotch and Steeking - Curlerchick knows and shows how to do it right!

How exciting that your new sweater is almost finished! A bummer that you bought so much more yarn than you needed though. But...you have plenty to make a matching hat or other fun things. :-)
