I combined a Plymouth pattern I had knit before with a Lion pattern. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I didn't read the pattern well; I was short about 1 skein of yarn. Patternworks to the rescue! I called with the color number and dye lot -- they didn't have it that day, but they would keep an eye out for it. I set the bag aside (at the point pictured) and contemplated ripping a skein out and adding a stripe of solid for the center. Two or three weeks later a bag appeared in my mailbox with one skein in the right dye lot!The bag was actually finished last weekend (I'll get a finished pic with the straps soon), and this weekend I am back at the black sweater. The sleeves are now attached to the body and I am starting the side seams and sleeve seams. The sleeve is a set in sleeve, something it turns out I have never done. It is also a stockinette sleeve attaching to garter on the body. Third & fourth part of the difficulty level: a black linen/cotton yarn. The side/sleeve seam is pretty standard and straightforward, I just have to keep plugging away!
