Way back last October I had this idea that I would make a top-down yoke sweater with some of my handspun for the yoke and some Paton’s Classic Wool that I already had for the body and sleeves. I knit and knit on the sweater but as soon as I was ready to start the second sleeve I ran out yarn. Since there is only one place in my town that sells this particular yarn and I really didn’t want to have to order any, I stuck the sweater away until I had a chance to make the half hour drive (which involves borrowing a car or getting a ride) to the store to pick up more yarn. I obviously never made it over there but when I was cleaning out and painting my room last January I found more of this yarn. I stuck it away with the sweater and promptly forgot about it. The other night, after I cast off my last sweater, I was digging around in my stash of leftovers and found the yarn and sweater and got to knitting. Unfortunately I didn’t keep any notes while I was knitting before so it took some time to figure out when to decrease for the sleeves and how many to do but at least I had thought to note what size needle I used in Ravelry. Now, two days later, I have an almost completed sweater, there’s just a few inches of sleeve left to knit. I hope it still fits come time to wear it.
