It's coming down to the last four inches of my sleeves for my owl sweater and I am so ready to quit. I love the mindless knit but right now its boring and! My four hanks have turned into three very small balls. A scale would be my best friend right now. I'm so pleased that I decided to knit both in the round AT THE SAME TIME. I knitted like crazy today and got from the four inches I did last night to fifteen! According to my measurements from armpit to wrist I need nineteen. I am so very scared that after I finish my sleeves I won't have enough to finish the yoke.
Now I have read that this yarn grows in length when blocked. Several inches. But in other projects there was no mention. Soooooooo I'm seriously debating on stopping at my fifteenish and HOPE...PRAY that my sleeves grow into the length I want or knit to the nineteen and pray for my yarn to last till bind off. BAH!!

I set out on a mission for more reviews/comments about how much this yarn grows and found three new blogs!

Derek is a stone cold stud. *giggle giggle* my bf snuck this in when I went to the bathroom.
When I think about it ..all the time I've been reading amd wasting time on the net those four inches would have been done. Or damn near close. Sigh. I think I'll compromise and knit seventeen and a half and really hopes it grows at least an inch. Then there's still the factor that I might not have enough yarn!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hmm I could do 3/4 sleeves? but all the sweaters I've knitted are 3/4 and I want full length! Buying another hank is just dreadful to me. I want to wear this sweater this weekend and being a poor knitter I've already spent way too much money on yarn that really should have gone towards responsible stuff. I want to cry and throw a huge fit. Only thing to do is keep knitting and wish for the best. Wish me luck!
