Crayon Box Jacket, First Sleeve Complete
One week after taking my first CBJ class, I've completed the first sleeve.
I really like how all of the different yarns are coming together. The "problem" is that the more squares I knit, the more yarn I want to try for the squares -- trouble for the pocketbook! I did run over to a lys to just see what they had available. Of course, they had lots of purty things. I bought a few more skeins, Fiesta Kokopelli in cream and variegated, Great Adirondack Tribbles, and Rowan Kid Classic in vanilla. I need to force myself to stop "just looking" at yarn for this jacket. Otherwise, I'll end up with enough yarn for a second jacket.
