Last June I purchased yarn for a sweater at the Mary Maxim store in Paris, Ontario. At the time, I didn’t have a pattern with me, so I wasn't sure how much to get.
Since the yarn was greatly reduced in price, I decided to get MORE than I needed, rather than LESS.
When I finished the sweater, I had three and a half balls remaining.
What to do with the leftover yarn? Make a vest, perhaps?
Same basic pattern (knit top down) with “cap” sleeves.
A pullover… No collar… Also not as long...
I’ve been working on it. The cap sleeves are done and I’m moving down the bodice, knitting in the round. I currently have a ball and a half of yarn left...
Two big questions now loom in my mind:
- Will I have enough yarn?!
- And… what to do if I don’t?!!
I guess I can always add stripes!
Knitters have been improvising with stripes for years!
