Vast and Deep is my love for sweaters.

I have installed the new buttons on the cardi. Only pressing remains. I guess I never showed you how much yarn I had left. I thought for sure I'd need another skein.














Here is my new sweater... it will be a split neck pullover with a collar. And 3/4 sleeves. 3/4 because I don't think I'll have enough yarn. I got this yarn at Stitches Midwest. I bought the package of 10 50g balls. I thought that'd be enough for a sweater, and it was the only on in this color. Well, it took 3 balls for the front, so that's 3 for the back, leaving 2 for each sleeve. I'm a math genius! BTW, the color in this shot is right on the money... isn't she pretty?















Anyhoo, in an amazing display of delayed gratification, I did NOT buy 10 skeins of yarn at $12 each today for my next sweater. Being a math genius, I realized that 10 x 12 is NOT a small number. But, OH, that yarn was nice. Maybe later. (See? DELAYED gratification, not DENIED gratification. It's a fine line. I'll be seeing that baby alpaca/silk blend again. Don't tell Lee.)
