Though I'm using up stash yarn from elann.com.....I can't believe how much yarn I'm eating up making a Totem for my 5 yr old. I know that garter stitch is pretty stretchy - so I am holding hope that I can squeak by with sleeves that look a bit too short. My back up plan - a border around the whole shebang in a complimentary color. This whole thing has been knit by many people before...but why oh why are my instructions for this sweater different in three of my zimmerman books? Makes for a confusing knit - trying to remember which 'recipe' I started with. (Do you call EZ pattenrs patterns? or recipes *grin*) Happy knitting - may the yarn fairies come and kiss your yarn....to make it last till you get to the end!

They're also good for layering on top of lightish PJ's for season changes if you have blanket-phobes like my two.

And there's no need to rip all the way back to the bottom - the i-cord will pull it all together and isn't hard to do. D is adorable - I see your face in there!

I enjoy checking into your blog and reading about your knitting journey. Thank you for blogging! Take a look at the book "Alterknits" by Leigh Radford - page 75, a photo for a pattern "Cardigens for Clark & Lily." The designer has done some clever things with color -using different colors for parts of a child's sweater and using embroidered motifs to carry off the multi-colored sleeves, yolks, etc. Maybe this can help and inspire you if you can't find the matching yarn. Kind regards - Lynn Your knitting is lovely – and your children are cherubs!

I'm sorry, I'm just too distracted to think about sleeves right now. :) Oh, look at those big baby smiles! I’m sorry, I’m just too distracted to think about sleeves right now. :)

I think contrasting sleeves, even if they were the entire sleeves could look good, especially if you had enough yarn to make a hat in the contrasting color to make it an ensemble. Good luck! I predict that Daniel will want a pet sheep by age 3, an alpaca by age 5 and a cashmere goat by age 7. I think Abby has a great idea.
