On the Needles

 I've knit 2 balls of yarn into my Henley sweater and tried it on, it is still huge but my stitches are the right gauge so I started again in the smaller size which will have 9 fewer stitches in the body and will be 2 inches smaller I'll try it on and compare to the larger and decide to which I will knit sleeves. This is really turning out to be a lot of work fortunately I like the feel of the yarn and I still love the color. The tulips and the flowering almond will all be done long before I finish.  Then I got a box of fun...........
 I was just looking for some plain yarns to mix with leftovers for toes and heels of more footies and found my favorite words sale and free shipping so I met the quota. Happy knitting and have a great weekend and linking to Judy's On the Needles. --Ann--

Your sweater is just beautiful! I'm sorry it's too big. The flowers have been so pretty here... my peonies are HUGE this year. Happy knitting!

Beautiful sweater. It will fit someone. I look forward to the day I can say it is too big! And beautiful yarns and tulips--my favorite.

Love that yarn color for your sweater; sure hope the second try fits! Nice flower photos, too.
