Cast On

[atherleisure]

I cast on the trunks for the 1921 bathing suit last night. I had intended to wait to start them until the Eleonora stockings were done, but then it started to become clear that I'm going to run out of yarn for the bathing suit. The yellow should be fine, but I'm going through blue rather faster than I expected. I'm sure I've got enough for the crocheted dress and probably enough for the trunks. I'll be shocked if I have enough for the socks. It seemed like a good idea to lay aside the Eleonora stockings for a bit and knit up what I can of the trunks and socks so that I can get to the point where I know how much yarn I need.

I have a coupon that's good in August so I'm hoping that I can get to that point fairly soon.

Ugh. I hate running out in the midst of a project because then I worry that when I try to get more, it’ll be out or not the same color. Yii

I do too. I'm really hoping they'll still have the same dye lot or something really close. At least what's left is the foot of a sock and the trunks that will mostly be covered by the main body of the suit.
