Picture this, I'm happily knitting. The front and back of the cardigan is finished--and looks beautiful. But, then, I realize I have one ball left. Let me write that again, for emphasis one...ball...oh, no!
What do I do?
Yeah, that was the question.
Here's what I decided to do...
I divided the one ball into four balls--two medium size balls for the sleeve and two smaller balls for the cuffs.
Did it work?
All will be revealed on Monday, November 28th, when I let you peek at my inventory for WinterCraft (a Christmas craft show on Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada)

I'm currently knitting myself a cardigan. The front and back are done. I thought I had finished one sleeve--enter the dilemma. After working nine inches of seed stitch I began shaping. For the sane of simplicity, I planned to decrease at the beginning and end of every second row. The result...
a twelve inch long sleeve.
I decided this was two short. A longer sleeve was my goal.
Questions: How will I accomplish this goal? How will I ensure that the shaping is properly placed?
Enter this helpful device...
a row counter. As I complete row after row, I keep a record of my progress my roll to dial to the corresponding number.
I have the solution. Now I can rip out my mistake.
Happy knitting
