…unfortunately, as my grandpa used to say, only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. *sigh*
It’s not my fault though. Between cooking for 10 people for Thanksgiving (Happy Thanksgiving!) and then Friday contracting a raging case of some kind of horrible 24 hour bug that lasted until Sunday I wasn’t able to knit that much. I knit like hell on Sunday though until I came up against another wall.
Wait, let me show you:
10 grams does not equal four inches of sweater sleeve. Even in my slice of non-reality. *sigh*
At least if it turn it like this:
…it *looks* like it’s done. ;o)
P.S. Exciting news! I have sock monkey fabric!! Watch the shop, I’ll have some posted soon…

StoryTime Sampler 3 February 2016
I don’t know if this project will stay here, but I wanted a spot to put all of my photos for the current sampler I’m cross stitching.

I’ve put this on ‘hibernating’ status since I’m trying to decide what to do - I kind of want to pick my favorite 6 and make a mini sampler since there are some books in the mix that aren’t my favorites

Please tell me you can get more yarn.
Cookies last blog post..A Boring Ten Things
No! No! That sucks. Lovely sweater though. It’s the sweater equivalent of Flock of Seagull hair, except better cause it’s wool.
Kims last blog post..New Socks
Bummer! Are you going to be able to save it?
I love the yoke!
Leighs last blog post..This year in Santa
So close! Hope they have more of the same.

Bummer on the sweater but you’ll be done in no time, I’m sure. And I always say that close thing, too.
Caroles last blog post..Let’s Do the Time Warp Again

Home run stretch, hope the yarn is not too hard to get!
dianes last blog post..Survey says…
oh noes! you ran out of yarn -and- you got sick? *hugs* what you do got there is truly gorgeous.
Opals last blog post..Show must go on.
I hate when that happens – it totally deflates my sense of accomplishment when I run out of yarn so close to the end.
The sweater does look fabulous though!
Donnas last blog post..Those Amazing Kids!
Did you get more yarn? I hope so!
OMG! Don’t leave us hanging by a thread. Can you get more???
Total bummer! Hope you find a quick solution!
Jessicas last blog post..Well that snuck up now didn’t it?!
I hope you can find the yarn to finish it?!
So close, and yet so far…
karins last blog post..Short Time Out
Hey Jess,
The sweater is gorgeous! Hope you can get the yarn to finish it. I just had a total catastrophe with a gorgeous scarf I was making for Rosemary for Christmas. She brought me one of the yarns I was using it from Italy. I ran out, and the yarn is no longer being made. Can’t find it ANYWHERE!!! I’m so bummed.
BTW, I gave the socks you made to one of my friends. She is crazy about them! She has shown them to everyone we know! Thank you SO much! They are fabulous!
