Because I thought I had the wrong colour yarn with me yesterday at the Point, there was no other choice but to buy more yarn. A cartoon lightbulb was switched on over my head as the idea of making a crochet dress to wear at Lisa & Jeff's wedding in 12 days. (Beacause I've got soooo much time on my hands, right?) After scanning the offerings, Jill A pointed me in the direction of some gorgeous multi-coloured and multi-textured yarn by The Great Adirondack Yarn Company. I chose this beautiful colourway and started right away with the waistband.My little design will have to be put on hold though, as I need my hands for working on yet another book project...
This poor baby failed to pass the audition.
I had hoped that all this cabling would become the most beautiful men's jumper...but it just didn't work out the way I wanted and unfortunately it will not be appearing in a book anytime soon.
So guess what? I'll need more yarn for another sweater to take it's place!!
Will the designing and knitting for this book ever end?

It will end and the finished product will be FABULOUS! I have no doubt.
Heather,
Can't you frog the sweater for the yarn? Or do you like the sweater enough to keep it for Glenn?
And I agree with Michelle!

Thank you my dears :o)
The sweater is far too small for that giant boyfriend of mine! I might frog it down to the armholes and reknit it up, but it's slow going with all those cables. It won't make the book, but if I like it, I may offer the pattern on my website/blog. I need to work on some free patterns to put on there.
In the meantime I'll be knitting another man's sweater in superfine alpaca - soooo soft!
