the blue blog archives: letter to germany: send more yarn

My Rebecca sweater is coming to an end, but my yarn is coming to an end even faster! One ball of each color (plus a smidge more) to knit the back up to the yoke. One ball of each color (plus a smidge more) to knit each sleeve up to the yoke. One ball of each color half gone in the front so far. And only one ball of each color left to knit the yoke, cuffs and collar. I'm no good at math, but all those plus a smidge's are adding up I'm sure. I'm getting nervous. So I've sent off an email to my mother-in-law to stop by the tiny store in Germany where I bought the yarn and pick up some more.

Give me a note when you need help, my LYS carries a lot of that GGH yarn I think :)

Wow, that's a lot of sleeve knitting that you've accomplished there!

Somebody has got to have that yarn on Ravelry. Or online. Assuming, of course, the wool brigade can't get any more in Germany.

I love the stripes. I hope some extra yarn turns up for you!

Oh no! I hate getting to that part of the sweater when you just don't know if you have enough left. I seem to get there often. Hmm...note to self - buy more yarn!

That is the coolest, most fun sweater! Most definitely you cannot run out of yarn on this one.

I live in Germany - so if your mom-in-law cannot help, let me know and I will send to you the yarn you need.

That is such a fun sweater! I can't seem to find the pattern for it though. Please, oh, please, where is it available? :-)

Kelley, the pattern info is at the top of the archive page (that's the link in the post). It's the last sweater (sweater #31) in the latest Rebecca magazine (Rebecca #37). Here's the Rebecca website for info on where to find or order the mag.
