It is Wednesday right?  This week seems to be going by so slowly and tomorrow starts my 3 days of solo parenting (and yes, I know that single parents always solo parent and I have loads and loads of respect for them).  First is a new sweater I cast on for Daughter called Little Dots Sweater and so far it's been awesome (even if I did misread the instructions and knit the yoke a little short - I'm sure it will stretch).  The neckline will not be as large as it seems in the photo as at the end of the sweater you do pleats.  This will be a first for me.  Daughter has also requested short sleeves which will make my life easier.

This is the Tiny Tea Leaves Sweater and I'm quite frustrated with it, through no fault of anyone's but my own.  I really thought I had enough yarn in my stash of one dye lot that I could finish the body of the sweater by alternating the old and new dye lot.  I was so very wrong.  But the even more frustrating thing?  I will not have enough yarn to finish the sleeves, so I will be adding yet another dye lot.  The good things are that the colors might even out a little after washing, Daughter will not care, and Daughter's school will not care.  That is what I keep telling myself in order to keep from ripping it all out.  (On a side note - I've done the ordering of different dye lots before and have always lucked out and they've been a perfect match color wise; this is the first time it's been different).  

I'm thankful that I'm able to have all these WIP Wednesdays and continually work on new stuff.
