I downloaded the pattern for this sweater because I feel like I really need to make it. The problem is, the yarn that was used costs an arm and a leg (really, I mean it--I would have to sell at least one arm and one leg and possibly a kidney) to buy it. I certainly cannot knit with one arm, I like both of my legs and I suppose my kidney is useful, so I will have to do a search and find a reasonable substitute. I wouldn't knit it in this color (even though I like it), but in a plum or a rasberryish shade.
In other news, I feel like I should have gotten double wages at work today. We had three extra volunteers come in to help and I had to show them around and explain what they had to do. That's not part of my job description...
I had more spaghetti tonight. My cats still would not eat any. I kept telling them there are cats all over the Internet that can eat a simple piece of spaghetti and seem happy to do it and become Internet stars in the process. They just do not care about all of that, I guess.

this is a very lovely sweater indeed but I agree that selling body parts to get supplies is probably not a good option. Now that you've got that new used vacuum are you eating your spaghetti off the carpet? I'm not surprised that your cats don't like spaghetti but am surprised that Internet YouTube Cats do. I've never met a spaghetti eating cat. Perhaps MN cats are not of the spaghetti eating variety. Far as double pay, does sound like you deserved it training in extra bonus volunteers. Not fun. Lots of work. Plus extra people to deal with---regular work provides enough of that already!
Will you knit me a sweater too....I can supply a toe for the yarn. ;-) Make sure and post a picture of the sweater when you finish it.
I would think your kitties would have fun playing with the spaghetti...kind of like yarn. If you have any spaghetti left, I'll eat it. I love it.
