I think the blue sweater is coming along pretty good. Of course, it's the only thing I'm working on right now! All scrunched together like this it looks like it would fit DGD and she's only 4. I'm nearing the 364 stitches that is the point to put the sleeves on waste yarn. Only a couple more increase rows to go.
I did have a brain cramp in the button band though. Thank goodness I caught it as soon as I did. I had knit a row when I should have been purling. So I got out a trusty crochet hook, threw in a lifeline and held my breath that I could actually do what I planned.
One at a time I dropped a stitch off the needle, pulled it down to where the mistake was, inserted the crochet hook and picked up the stitches again. Only making purls where it had been knits before. It turned out. So a dropped stitch can be a good thing in the right situation. Usually they just make me freak out! :)
