ARTISUN

 ANOTHER TRIP AROUND  THE MOON

or is it around the sun?

No really sure

 but what I do know is I just finished another baby sweater from

Alexandra at Two of Wands of Season 8 Knit Stars.

I love this demo pattern she shows and I had some left over yarn 

from another project,

so why not try it again?

The only bummer I encountered

 was that I ran out of yarn when knitting the first sleeve.

Oops!!

So I went thru my stash and found another similar yarn from Malabrigo.

But it was a slightly thinner structure and a slightly different color way.

Nooo!

So what to do?

I ripped out the entire sleeve that I was halfway thru with,

then alternated every other row with the thinner yarn.

If you have never knit with two yarns simultaneously,

I don't recommend it.  

It's constant Yarn Barf (tangles)

I also ran out for the collar and waistband.

So for those I swished to smaller needles and just knit them with the other yarn.

You can totally see the difference in the pix for the collar and waistband,

but I kind of like it.  

They are slightly darker in value which I think is a nice subtle contrast,

 and pleasing to the eye.

So now I need another baby to gift this to.

Whose going to be next?

Got my fingers crossed for my son and his wife.
