I'm working on a sweater for one of my new KIDs. I have so many great new sock yarns, but they are not the same thickness as the brand of sock yarns that I used for my first few doll sweaters a few years ago. But I hate making up new knitting patterns. So the plan was to knit just a sleeve from some of the old leftover yarn, and then knit a sleeve out of some of the new yarn, then compare them and make notes, and revise my knitting pattern to accomodate the newer yarns. But I loved how the test sleeve turned out, so made a second identical one, and now I'm trying to make a whole sweater set, and have started on the body...... The bits and pieces of leftover yarn are from these two sweaters, but almost all the dark green and dark purple have been used up, leaving only the middle and lighter tones.... I just hope there's enough for a whole new sweater and hat.
