No Vogue sweater for the trip

Okay all you Busy Needle people. Here's the bad news.....

Because I added length to the sleeves and body of the sweater on the cover of the Spring/Summer Vogue Knitting magazine, I have run out of yarn AND DIDN'T BRING AN EXTRA BALL 'JUST IN CASE'. Yikes.

I was so ticked at myself! I've actually done some of the shoulder bind-off rows and am SO CLOSE that it hurts to leave it at Gavin's. Fish and bread may multiply to feed the masses, but the yarn just didn't stretch far enough to finish. And I had plenty of time to finish and block it, too... running out of yarn late yesterday morning. RATS!

So here's the news..... the largest size with added length to the body and sleeves takes 11 balls of yarn, not 10. I suppose every cloud has a silver lining. Better this happen to me so we know the correct amounts before we order your yarn for the class.
