nailbiter

There seems to be a neverending stream of UFOs at the Periwinkle Sheep. I am finding all these projects that were abandoned at one point or another.

Today, I'll show you a little Tomten Jacket (from Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting without Tears). I know exactly why I put it down: I'd been using a variety of single skeins.


I was afraid I would run out of yarn for the second sleeve.



Though I am using single skeins, I do aim for symmetry, as that caters to my sense of balance. I'd be loathe to have to add a different shade of wool at the end of that little sleeve... but I THINK I have enough red yarn to work a button band.

Knitting at the edge of my seat.
