Swatch to the rescue
While knitting away on one sleeve of my yet-to-be-named top-down pullover, I realized that I probably wouldn't have enough yarn to make the sleeves as long as I wanted (slightly past wrist length). To the rescue: the large swatch I made when I was working on the proposal for the Wakame Lace Tunic pattern, published in the Summer 2008 issue of Interweave Knits. (An interesting side note-- this was one of the few patterns I've written where the yarn I swatched turned out to be the yarn used in the finished pattern.) After reclaiming it, I'm sure I'll have enough yarn!

The Chinese Lace Pullover is a perfect spring-into-summer project, as shown in cotton (or try a cotton/wool or cotton/linen blend). Lace borders on cuffs and lower hem flow into wide, figure-flattering ribs on the sleeves and body. Directions given for working flat OR in the round. See more patterns
