I will definitely have enough yarn to make the sleeves as long as I want. I picture this sweater being worn over a very soft cotton summer dress — long and flowy. So, today I bought fabric. Six yards cost me about $13.00! Woo hoo! This picture (from my scanner, not camera) shows the colors much more accurately. So now I have both knitting and sewing to do.
I am behind on my knitting because of spring break. I worked through all of it except Friday. So I decided to take my two girls out for a one day vacation. We did all the kinds of things you do on vacation: we went bowling (my girls are “bowlers” in name only!), had our nails done, ate lunch at a fabulous restaurant, and shopped, shopped, shopped. It was so much fun!!! We really had a good time.Â
Tomorrow I will knit on my way to and from Grandpa’s for Easter dinner, so I hope to finish the second sleeve then. Have a happy holiday, everyone!
