Park Avenue is very much like Patons Jet. Wool/Alpaca blend, perhaps slightly thinner than Jet. Anyway, I've chucked a couple of balls of Jet in the charity pile as a replacement.
While the Jet was out, I grabbed a couple of balls and cast on Norah Gaughan's Sunflower Tam from Knitting Nature. It's for a friend who will require some elegant headwear in the near future. Up to the pretty top bit now and it's so much fun!The Curs-ed* Sleeve of Doom has struck again.
After yesterday morning's debacle it went into it's project bag in the corner to have a good long think about its behaviour.
It did and decided to disagree about being a quick and easy notch on the FO belt.
Took it out at lunch today and merrily knitted several rows in the wrong stitch pattern. Seriously, if there had been any lighter fluid handy, that jumper would, quite literally, be toast!
*thanks for the punctuation, 2Paw, couldn't remember how to do that. :)

Lucky team member! Beautiful work, Taph!
beayutiful FO therapy sounds like just the ticket after the jumper sleeve nightmare. aiee!!
nice work! :D
Oh that's gorgeous Taph ^_^ project knit-the-pretties is going strong!!
You make my day!An Award,come and have a look! LOL
Love the Tudora (may have to think about that when the weather chills (if it ever does!)
that is lovely! i think your sleeve has been talking to my sock, major misbehaving going on here....
The Tudora looks so elegant. Your choice of button is perfect. I hope the sweater learns its lesson. Those wayward knits, what are we going to do with them?
Sounds like the jumper needs to be beaten into submission not just a simple time out.
That's a gorgeous Tudora...lucky co-worker!
Very Regal indeed!! Yes, I would have put an acute, but I don;t know how to make one: The Curs-ed Sleeve is a tale of Shakespearean proportions, as we know!!!
That is such a stylish pattern, and yours will be much loved, I'm sure!
Good luck with the blasted Sleeve of Doom - maybe you need to threaten it with lashings of acrylic, and then it will behave?
The Tudora is beautiful! What a lovely birthday present :-)
Are you sure that you haven't offended any dark wizards with that poor sleeve?
