I may have done something stupid.
The place where I usually get my brother's birthday gifts was having a sale, so I bought his present. Since it is way before his birthday, I'm shipping it to me, and then I'll ship it out to him closer to his birthday.
I mean, I'm going to eventually have a package to ship to Ohio. This sweater I've been working on since last July, eldest nephew's Christmas gift, is going to be finished. Eventually. My brother's present can hitch a ride when I mail that out.
So, now I have a deadline. I need to get this sweater done in time to get my brother's birthday present to him on time. That is, if I want to only ship one package.
Can I do it? I think I can. We'll see.
My brother's birthday is March 30th.
I have sleeve two to finish.
Then sleeves one and two need the ribbing.
Then the sweater gets assembled. And then the collar is knit on.
We'll see...
