Setting a Deadline

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...
