And it is all good, but for one small thing. Remember how I worried about the white? Yeah, that is going to be just fine. Lots of that left, but I really did need to use as much of the white as possible to make the red go all the way. I will be starting on the last ball of red shortly, and I do mean shortly. I am about halfway up to the top on the back section at the moment, but I had hoped to be just the smallest bit farther along before breaking into that last ball of red.
I will only have half a ball of red to make the sleeves with and that might be just the smallest bit short. I have a feeling that I may have to make more white stripes on the sleeves to get to the five and a half inches they need to be. They are skinny little sleeves and they start at about the wearer's elbow but still.
I do have some places where I could 'harvest' red from, if need be. Down at the bottom, I have the problem of a horribly flipping ribbing. And I do mean horrible.
It is a mess and I am going to go back and fix it. I have been thinking of adding two rows of white to the ribbing section which would gain me lots of red for the neck band. That way, I could get as much length on the sleeves as possible.
All in all, though, what a nice pattern for a sweater. I love knitting Joji's designs. Well written, stylish designs, great schematics, all the things that a knitter really wants from a knit. And with just a little bit of luck, that Cassie will love to wear.
