Erratum

Yesterday I realized I didn't have enough yarn to complete Claude. It is a pretty A line cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves, cable detail on each side of a deep neckline, reminiscent of post WW 11 fashions, designed by Anna Bell. I think the reason I ran out of yarn is because I had to go down a whole needle size to get gauge. I know there is nowhere in Prince George I can buy the yarn, Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora, I was forced to get it online and pay more than the cost of the one ball, I need to finish, for shipping. Arrgh.

In frustration I wound my skeins of Sweet Georgia silk lamb into balls. I discovered one of them had a break and the ends were tied together. Another ball had a big nubby slub near the middle of the skein. Later, when I cast on for the camisole I noticed the dye from the yarn was coming off, staining my hands. I'm not impressed. It will mean when I have finished the camisole I will have to soak it in either a mixture of salt and water or vinegar and water, I forget which, to set the dye. I don't want my body to be stained.

I'm surprised because I didn't have any problems with yarn breaks or flaky dyes in the last batch of sock wool I bought from Sweet Georgia.
