Are those Zecca buttons? They look fun and yummy! I am glad you found some yarn to replace the old. I went on a hunt last year for some Classic Elite Sand for a Classic Elite pattern. I searched and searched then called and called to make sure the not so LYS had all that I needed. It is surprising what you can find lying in a sale bin. I ended up paying only 5.00$ per skein. Hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving and got lots of knitting time!

what a wild sweater with a wild story behind it. hope everything works out in the end.
this makes me realize i have a dangerous habit, buying enough skeins to get started on a project, figuring I'll go back for more once i "get into it". very bad, very dangerous!

di

too bad. Looks good!

I have faith - you'll make it work and it will be stunning. Love the buttons!

Colleen

The plate glass window of knitting: ha! I love this.

Love the buttons, and I was on pins and (knitting) needles reading about the dye lots and wondering if they would match. If worse came to worse, could you try and overdye something to match better?

I tried to keep track but I lost count. Do we have more good news than bad news? I think so because the buttons are amazing and they count as a whole bunch of good news!

Teresa

Good News - Bad News...it's going to be beautiful!

Kim

What an odessey this sweater has been, but it is going to turn out Great! Can't wait to see you in it!

margene

You made all the news good with your decisions. It will be a magnificent sweater when finished. Fab buttons, too!

Ruth

Such beautiful buttons ... they more than make up for the dyelot problems.

I have some Turkish Plum in the stash ... want me to check dyelots for you?

Bit of a rollercoaster, this post.

Send an SOS to Kay [Mason -Dixon]. I sent her some [as in 1 small ball] of antique [early eighties] Turkish Plum. It may be in a gorgeous blanket somewhere. Or not.

It's a stunning cardigan. A real achievement.

I've got whiplash after that post.

I probably missed Walter by about an hour.

Glad it's going to work out, and oh wow, those buttons are PERFECT! Love them.

karen

i love knitting because it's so exciting!!! - as this post amply demonstrates!

also love the sweater, it is going to be awesome, and i like your solution to the dye lot problem. that's exactly what i would do, so it must be right!

Julia

What a knitting odessy all in one amazingly challenging sweater! I'm sure it's all going to work out great. And those buttons are smashing!

Martha

Genius solution! I really, truly, honestly think no one will notice the different dye lot on the collar.

And that is one heck of a sweater. Quite an accomplishment. And in cotton, too! I can't even imagine.
