Well, one sleeve is finally completed at least!
I ripped it out so many times because the colors left in the skein after knitting the body
were not the full selection so I could make a match to the body.
I did take what colors I could match,
halved the amount of yarn so I can have the right amount for the second sleeve!
(Thank you , Nancy , for the idea!)
The colors are way off in this picture because it is late at night-
I wasn't going to bed until I got it right!
The second sleeve should be a breeze after this!
Wow....it turned out spectacular!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking perfect. I ripped this weekend too. I'm all about not rushing right now, so you will be looking at my shawl for a while longer ! The sweater you are knitting looks cheerful, and wonderful. Keep going!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! A fun sweater.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteLooking good. I don't have your patience with trying to get stripes to match. I just let them do what they do!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! I seem to remember a similar experience with Noro Silk Garden and a sweater I made ages ago!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic. Good luck with sleeve number two.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! Hooray on the sleeves matching. :)
