This is how far I’ve got with my short sleeved top which you can find here.
Now those who are awake while reading this will notice that the sleeves are rather long for a short sleeved top!!!! Do you want to know why? Well I bought the recommended number of balls of yarn but have realised that I’m going to finish up with leftovers!!!! Leftovers are fine if you can eat them but I don’t fancy eating yarn!!! So I’ve decided to make the top into a sweater!!!
I’m not sure if I’ve got enough length on the body so have left that ball attached to it so I can go back and add more if I want to.
Of course carrying on to make the sleeves longer means working out when and where to decrease towards the cuffs. When I’m designing tatting I always write down the pattern on my iPad as I go so this is what I’ve done with this project.

Ah. Good idea to use as much of the yarn as possible. Looking good.
It's already gorgeous! I can hardly wait to see the sweater completed.

I like it with the longer sleeves, and I think it will make a beautiful, warm sweater! Good use of extra yarn since you don't enjoy eating it! Ha!
