Just Need 2 Things

Sleeves are what this sweater needs! I completed the body of my Top-Down Raglan Cardi on Friday evening and was going to start the sleeves. What stopped me? Can you believe that the huge collection of circular needles which resides in my home does not contain a Size 9 16"? I can't! I mean, everything other size seems to be there. Did this mean I was going to have to lug myself out to the store to get them? Nope. First thing Monday morning I emailed my knitting peeps, Kim and Tawana, to inquire as to their needle collections. Kim came to the rescue. I even got to choose between metal and bamboo. Thanks Kim!
As you can see in the pic, needles are inserted in the first armhole and ready to go! Knitting will be done in no time. Now I just got to get some buttons!

  4. I had the same problem when I made that sweater, so just did mine on 2 cir 9 needles. My Rhinebeck sweater will need a miracle to be completed on time.
