Excuse the wrinkled pants. I was up a little late last night, what with the knitting and the seaming and the sewing.
I used ten skeins of Noro Kureyon, and was left with a little over five grams of yarn. I so worried about running out of yarn! Beentsy heard of my predicament and went rummaging through her yarn stash and very kindly sent me an emergency skein that she had on hand for a swap. Beentsy is a Knitguyver, though, because this is how she sent the yarn:
Vaccuum sealed. It's ten kinds of awesome.
In case of emergency, break plastic and fluff.
As it turns out, I didn't end up using the yarn. Isn't that always the way? I'm going to make myself a matching hat to go with the sweater, though, which will make it eleven kinds of awesome.
There was quite a button dilemma last night, too. I ended up going with some plain wooden ones this morning, and I think it was the right choice.
The cat approves.
I think this will be the sweater I wear to the Banff Centre - I'm headed back there in a couple of weeks (yay!), and a warm sweater is always needed for mountain arts centres. It's only taken me seven trips to the Banff Centre to figure this out.
(yes, I'm a little bit tired)
