Freak Out
Posted on
I spent most of last week working on my Chance of Showers sweater but I had a minor freak out Sunday evening when I realized there was no possible way that I was going to have enough yarn to finish. I cannot imagine putting in all of the time and effort into this sweater and then not having enough yarn to finish it!
So I started searching -- one store didn't carry the colorway, another didn't carry it at all. My options were pretty limited until I checked eBay! Get this -- not only did I find it in the right color, but the right dye lot too! PHEW! It should be sitting at my house waiting for me when I get out of work today, which is perfect timing because I bound off last night and all I have left to finish is the neckline.
The rows were long but so worth it. I love this sweater and it fits perfect! I cannot wait to block it and share some FO pictures!

love it Kara looks great!
Wow – how lucky! It looks interesting so far, can’t wait to see it complete.
That is an incredibly rare and lucky thing! Can’t wait to see the final product.
Wow, that is definitely a stroke of good luck, to even get the same dye lot! It’s lookin’ good!
Wow are you ever fortunate!! That is great!
You are so lucky! Can’t wait to see the finished photos.
Love the colour and look of this sweater! My grandmother taught me how to knit and crochet when I was young. I used to knit a bit many years ago, but, its been so long ago I need a refresher. I would love to get back into it especially now that my kids are older and I have more time. Any suggestions on sites that have good tutorials?
Lucky!!! Can’t wait to see the FO. Love what I see so far!
