Fresh from the yarn swap

I had to deny myself yall after taking carefull considerations in my decisions to swap some of my yarn I was determined not to come home with more yarn than I took to the swap & yeah I did it whohoo for me.

Yarn swap

I am so excited my group is having a yarn swap on saturday & I can not wait to see what evreryone brings especially since I have sworn off buying yarn for a lil while atleast 2 mos. So this is a real big deal for me because it's like cheating LOL

Working it out for someone else

Since I lead the group I figure that if someone has a problem I will try to help them so here it is the sweater that will drive you to drink ( I don't drink by the way but if I did I would have been leaning that day) This is a cute sweater you might say oh but wait, wait untill you finish the body & one sleeve and begin to do the other sleve & uh there it is you realize one sleeve is comming out bigger than the other. At first you think it is you not following the directions correctly but then you realize you have too many stitches after doing it over 3x's. After the third time you realize that for some strange reason at the beginning of this pattern there is a glitch & you have too many stitches on that side to begin with. So what do we dedicated hookers do we adapt as I did & changed the pattern and did made it fit as you can probally tell the sleeves are still a lil uneven but hell I was just helping someone else so I think I did pretty good atleast now she knows she ain't crazy LOL

Ok so I know I have been slacking on the whole blog drama but I am here now & that's all that counts RIGHT! RIGHT LOL. Well here it is the torn is almost finished but of course I ran out of yarn it's only right the damn irony. The varigated is gone all of it & of course I can't get any more because I got it off of ebay and it's not a recent yarn so there is the first problem whateva I can deal just continue without it did that not I ran out of the solid yarn and of course I have to go all the way to queens to get it so it's on hold for now by the time I get it to my lil cuz she just might be walking LOL.
