How long does a sweater of yours sit unfinished?
This little 4 year sized Family Crew Neck sat for quite a while because I didn’t know how to do the sleeves.
The colour fade yarn was great. I had already bought a second ball to do the sleeves.
I wound off the lime green, yellow and into the orange of the second ball of yarn.
I wound up all the orange into a separate ball. Then, I wound off some of that orange ball to make 2 equal sized balls. I knit one sleeve and then the other until the length of the orange in the sleeve was as close as I could get it to the body.
Then I did the same with the red and then again with the purple.
Yes, it was time-consuming, but I’m really happy with the result.
He likes likes it. He really likes it.
Cheers, Deb

It’s Maravilla by katia. Approx 50/50 wool/acrylic which is what I buy to knit for my grandson. Washable but still some wool in it.
