So, I was about halfway through my Sulka Cardigan...I WAS. I was happily knitting, last night, and ran out of the skein of yarn I was knitting with. I went upstairs and grabbed another skein. I looked and saw that I only had two skeins of yarn left for the cardigan. Ummmm...WHAT? I am going to run out of yarn before finishing. (insert much cursing and F-word usage)
I ran back to my laptop and checked ravelry and the Sulka Project page. The yarn yardage is listed as 457 yards at most (lies) and I opened up the pattern PDF and the yardage listed for the largest size is 550 yards (lies). I figured I would be safe having more yardage at 1075 yards for this cardigan...So, when I realized that I am going to run out...I was PISSED.
I restarted the Sulka Cardigan again, this morning...with different yarn. Unfortunately, I have no other bulky yarns in my stash. I am using worsted weight this time. I am having to edit this as I go...using smaller yarn means that I am knitting a larger size, to fit me. We will see how it goes...? Ugh, what a mess.
Alright, I need to make some afternoon coffee and take a couple headache pills. I hope everyone is having a pleasant evening. I'm a bit peeved at the moment. I'll get over it. Lies, lies, lies...

Will you tell the designer?
