It Lives!
Finally out of its (summer)hibernation is Teva Durham's Lace Leaf Sweater. Now that the weather is finally dipping down into temps resembling fall I've been motivated to get this finished. It was really already quite close, and at such a large gauge I thought 'Hey I'll have a finished sweater in no time'. Heh, except for that pesky yardage calculation thing for changing gauge, and I thought I had ordered extra. Yeah, I'm short. I'm short one arm cap's worth.

So, in the meantime while I wait for 1 more ball of yarn to wing it's way here (KnitPicks Sierra btw) I've commenced on Cloche V2.0.

Ooo, I hate it when I'm short a little yarn. It looks great though!

That green sweater is just lovely. I hope you don't have to wait long. I'm waiting on a knitting bag MFB ordered for me and I have No patience when I'm excited to get something new.
Love the red cloche!

It looks so nice. It stinks to be short on yarn.

Ohhh, running out of yarn sucks! I'm so sorry to hear it . . . I ran out (in the same place) on my very first sweater, and I almost threw in the towel and quit knitting. Then I discovered socks! :)

I hate when that happens! At least you are close to done! And just in time to wear it!

Oooh, I really like the color of that sweater. I made a pair of socks in a shade that resembles the color and absolutely fell in love with them...what brand of yarn are you using?

Aren't you loving this sweater weather?

Ah, I love sweater weather! I have some Sierra that I was thinking of using for the Lace Leaf sweater - how many skeins is it going to take you to finish it? I have six on hand.
Also, I'm about to finish my second Topi hat - I'll let you know when I get it done. ;)
