It appears my "Frozen" color work sweater just does not want to become a garment. The first two times it was much too big.
Try number three has issues as well. I think the size is fine this time. After frogging the almost complete body, I started knitting with the same yarns, just not in the same order as I frogged the skeins. I didn't realize there was a bit of a light blue tint on the natural cream (main color) from where I had used the darkest blue in the color work. About five inches into the body, I could see this discoloration at about an inch from the arms separation point. So, now I frogged back to a row under the arm separation, switch to a skein I know was just used in the body and have knit onward. Here's hoping I finish the sweater and can wear it before Spring gets here. I have plans for the other skein to become a hat after a good soaking. I will put the same pattern in the area of the blue tint just in case.
There's still only a little spinning and cross stitching progress so far this year.
Time to feed the cats. One is meowing and the other sort of makes a trill noise for food demands. As they age, they are getting much more vocal and a bit sassy. lol
