Haven't gotten back to quilting on the Venetian Tiles top yet, diversions including a weekend of multiple motorcycle races to watch, but I was still making progress on the crochet cardigan. I bought this as a kit which included 4 skeins of yarn, so when I finished up the first skein before I thought I was half way up the back panel, it worried me. Roughly, I figured two skeins for the back, and one for each front panel, with enough left for the cap sleeves. Will I really have enough? I figured out I'd be making 15 repeats of 4 rows (or less if I wanted to make it shorter), so counting and holding my breath. It was a bit of a relief when I paused to spread this out to measure it and see that the remaining few repeats left would bring it up to length and I should make it on that second skein of yarn.
Still feeling iffy about this yarn. Yes, very drapey, but crocheted up, it's making a fabric that is quite weighty. I can only hope that the finished cardigan hangs the way I anticipated from looking at the picture. I so want to be done with it and get back to working with regular wool and alpaca blend yarns.
