Finishing day

The day started with sunshine but I didn't feel so chipper.  I really wasn't in the mood to knit.  Honey knew I didn't feel good.  Sat like a lump in the chair last night ad didn't knit a stitch.  Eyes hurt.  Wish this sinus/ear infection would fly away.  Won't say whose fault it is but...  No they aren't contagious but it's fun to blame someone else anyway.  Sorta like playground time!

Then it got cloudy and I figured Oh well, may as well finish that sweater I've been carrying around for 2 months now.  All I had to do was the neckline, sew side seams and edge armholes.  So I knit the neck, sewed the seams and then looked at the armholes. 

Now I love the yarn I used - 2nd Time Cotton from Knit One, Crochet Too.  But did I really want to wind another whole skein for a couple of rows on the armholes.  I had made the armholes a little smaller this time because last time they were a little gappy (word?) on me.  So I knew I didn' need a lot to fill in.  And I had so little left.  What to do??

I may have had 1 1/2 yards of yarn left.  Hmmmm!  How about a slip stitch crocheted edge?  Could I mae it?  I did the first one - liked it.  Don't tuck in the ends in case I have to rip.

And I began the second one.  Coming up the back side of the armhole the yarn kept getting shoter and shorter. Could I make it?  Just like the little engine that could, I ended up with about 4 1/2 inches left after tying off.  So to make sure I feel confident I will get out the Fray-chek tonite and put it on the ends.

Ta-da!  Here it is.  I feel like I actually got something done.  Now what should I start now??  Can't have an empty bag??
