Is this enough yarn?

for two sleeves?

i didn't think so either, so i searched frantically for some more of this (since this used to be another sweater that I knitted a couple years ago and never wore, so i ripped it out and i'm sure the color has been discountinued) and i bought, what is described as 'rusty red' from somewhere in england. it should be to my house sometime next week, so progress on sweater is on hold, which means ...

(insert psycho music here)

STEEK, STEEK, STEEK

One of my favorite local yarn shops had a great sale, and when there is yarn on sale, you have to go, no matter how long you were trying to put off "a color decision" (read the air quotes as meaning I was trying to put off actually knitting the project)

a friend suggested i use pink, instead of the orange, but the pink at the store was a little too pepto bismo-y, so i went with this lilac instead ...

i guess if i really hate the combination, I could exchange the yarn ... oh, whatever, i can't fool you people. i really am dragging my feet with this. i'll do some knitting and show you the progress in the next day or so. at least this blog is keeping me an honest knitter.

by the way, my friend beverly found a place online to get 'Road to China' but it seems to cost a lot more than I remembered paying for it. If anyone is interested, I suggest just calling Gene Ann's.
