Usually when you knit a sweater, you finish the body first and then do the sleeves.

When the yarn runs out, the garment is done, no matter where that is. Finishing the sleeves was thus a priority because I definitely want it to have full-length sleeves.<\/p>\n<p>Will the remaining yarn be enough for a dress, as I hope? Or do I need to change my plan and aim for a sweater? Maybe I can get it to stretch longer by combining it with some other yarn, in which case the garment doesn&#8217;t need to be done when the white yarn runs out?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll knit to a point where I definitely need to make a decision, and then there will be a lot of weighing and measuring and calculating and geometry.
