I found out a few days before hand needed a red sweater for the school Christmas Spetacolo. I didn't give it much though, a quick trip to the market to pick up a turtle neck I could manage. Then I thought (sometimes that IS a bad thing, really) hey! I have 4 skeins of red yarn at home buried somewhere, lets do a sweater! I wanted one big cable to run up the sleeves and a double on the front. Lesson learned - JUST SAY NO TO ACRYLIC. BAH.
