Repeat after me.... make a swatch!!!! Make it a full size swatch 4"X4". That is unless you enjoy tinking and frogging. Which I guess I subconsciously do. This is the yellow sweater I was making to give to someone before they moved away. You aren't color blind and there is nothing wrong with my camera or the lighting.... this is orange. I knitted the whole yellow sweater up to the last 4-5 inches for the shoulders and I didn't have enough yarn to finish. Yeah that... stinks really bad.
So I pulled out 10 balls of this orange yarn, which she liked better any way. This is Classic Yarns Luxury Cotton DK.
This is the other work in progress. It's a bag. I have it on hold for right now. I really need to finish this orange sweater, then I'll show you more of this project.
I also have some sewing to do for Nita.... I'll do that tomorrow, I promise.

Dunno about that sweater, that color is...intense! But the bag! I want it! Beautiful!
I love seeing your knitting. I don't know frogging from frigging, or tinking from stinking, but I really like looking at your WIPs.
I love love love that bag. I can't ever remember seeing a knitted bag. Will it have a liner?
Thanks, I'll showcase the bag more next week on the WIP Wed. post.
What a bummer to get so close to finishing and run out of yarn. Wow...10 balls is a lot to rip out and wind. Such beautiful colors on your projects!
