A bit of a scare

Sleeve day two went well.


I am on the first row of the garter stitch welt.   Only one problem. The ball of yarn was looking awfully small when I left it and went to bed.  I was concerned.  I feared I would have to find another ball of yarn to do the neckband.  I only have one ball of yarn left for the other sleeve and maybe 50 m  left from the last ball of yarn from the body of the sweater.  I was going through all the options, including praying that somewhere, deep in the stash, I had something in this colour left from another project.

When I took sweater and skein out this morning for a quick photo, I fond this. 


It is less than a quarter of a skein, but more than I thought there was remaining.  With this, and the same amount left from the other sleeve, plus that last bit of yarn from the body, I should be okay.


It is a looser fitting sleeve than on my last few things, but it is what I was aiming for and if I have yarn left for the finishing, all is good.
