As I begin this post, I am embarking upon Skein #5 of Brown yarn.... and have 5 more remaining.
The baseline pattern says to begin the stripes at 5-inches before the end. My goal length is 14-inches from the armpit, and am currently at 7-inches. So I need to check and confirm the body length at 9 inches or about half-way thru this skein or ~13 rows.
I expect to need a bit more than one skein for the collar/button band. The body hem will be about half of one skein. Which leaves ~3 skeins for the sleeves... so I continue to feel ok about the amount of yarn I have.
As of this morning, (2/5/25) I am 11 rows into Brown Skein #5. I have begin the hip increases and am getting close to my goal of 9-inches from the armpit. So I decided to try the sweater on and feel very good about where I am.
I will complete one more row of brown, so I can begin the stripes on the right side of the fabric and then begins the stripes as written.
Skein duration:
- #1 (11/2/24 - 12/10/24) 5wks 3days
- #2 (12/10/24 - 12/30/24) 2wks 6days
- #3 (12/30/24 - 1/6/25) 1 week
- #4 (1/6/25 - 1/18/25) 1wk 5days
- #5 (1/18/25 - TBD)
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
