Starting fresh.

I finished the first sleeve, and it took a bit more than a skein. The left front took a bit less than a skein. I'm more than concerned that this means I won't have enough to knit the collar and button bands, which create a significant part of the front of the sweater.

So I'm starting over. I've swatched with new yarn, Queensland Kathmandu Aran, and my gauge is spot on post-wash. I have more than 100 yards more of the Queensland than I do of the Peace Fleece, so I'm feeling good about the new selection.

I'll be keeping you updated, to be sure.

That sucks. All that work. You've got plenty of company in this.
