NOOOOO!!!!!

Ok. Sweater done by Christmas didn't happen. That's just the way it is. I was hoping that I would have it done by the last day of our vacation. AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN!!!! But....I guess I didn't buy enough yarn, because I RAN OUT! 27 rows from being finished and I have to go out and buy another giant hank of the yarn. 478 yards for 27 rows and stitching the sleeves on. That's it. I am going to end up with a big chunk of yarn hanging out in my stash mocking me because I had to buy it for that tiny little amount. ARG. And it doesn't help that this is holiday season and I have no clue whatsoever what KnitWicks hours are going to be. I am praying that she will be open tonight. I have to go to Tulsa tomorrow with my mother to pick my brother up from the airport and I am not looking forward to the 2 hour ride there and back. Of course the final sleeve will be done in about 45 minutes, but still. It will help pass the time! Otherwise I will have to wait until Friday! That would just be torture seeing the sweater starting at me almost finished. Sticking its unwoven ends out at me and taunting me like a stinky kid on the schoolyard. What will I do?!?!?!

Stuck

I have about 5 or so inches of the second sleeve done. I have run out of steam. I need to work on another project to get going again, but I have promised DH I will get it done by Christmas! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! EEEEKKKK!!!!! I tried so hard to work on it last night, but my hands were cold and I kept finding them under the blanket on my lap. I just can't concentrate on it. I have had so much going on that I haven't had much opportunity to work on it. I was going to work on it this past weekend but we spent most of it shopping.
I need to decide on a new project when I am done with this one. DH thinks that I should knit exclusively for him from now on, but I really am thinking about a fair isle hat.

I have finished one of the sleeves! This picture was taken after finishing the sleeve, but before starting on the neck. I can't help it, I needed something different to work on before starting sleeve #2. Plus I was travelling yesterday so I didn't want to mess with all the dpns. I am so ready to be done with this thing. I have about about an inch left on the neck. I would have more done if I had worked on it during the car ride to Kansas yesterday. Well actually I did work on it but realized I was off a couple of stitches and ripped it out. I didn't start again till I was at my grandparents house. It is looking good though. So all I have left is one inch of the turtleneck, sleeve #2 and sewing the sleeves on/weaving in ends! Yay! It is about time too. Yesterday was my birthday and I got snow again this year for it! : )
