A Tale of Two Sleeves......

Christmas is coming quickly....far too quickly.    Piper's Clayoquot sweater is my "home" project.   This will be my first steek.  Friday evening, I finished the sleeves.  Needing the yarn to start the body, I reached into the bag for more.   No blue!!!  I had used a contrasting color for the background color on the sleeves.   Oh. No.   Nothing to do but to begin again.   One and a half or so sleeves are done in the correct colorway.   Wish I had chosen blue for the main color, but both are nice.

Clayoquot in two colorways....

The yarn is from Willow....they have such lovely, lovely colors.  More important for Piper's mother, it can go through the washer and dryer.

Tincan Knits has beautiful patterns.   The design team delivers many sizes in each pattern.  This is a sweater I covet for me.   After Christmas.   Well after Christmas.

I am up for the steek adventure but am worried that a disaster will strike and I will have to knit something else really, really fast.   But heck...no guts, no woolly glory.

The remaining sweater is simpler.....beyond that there only remains 2.5 pairs of socks, one hat, and five colorwork Christmas stockings.
