I want to use this yarn to make a sweater.
The problem is with my breasts, I need between 15 and 30 balls (depending on how complicated the knit pattern is. I have 3 in mind.) Making the sweater between 98 and 195. No including time/effort/shipping.

Is it ANY WONDER why I dont knit for myself?

I know the feeling, although I'm not quite as blessed as you. Where do you find your nursing bras?

Pasadena, at.... the Creative Woman. OMG THEY ROCK SO HARD.

I can walk IN THERE and find a nursing bra in a 38L. That's just unheard of. Seriously. Good prices too several of my nursing bra's were under 20 bucks.

Although I do tend to shop their higher end stuff when not nursing.
They have a sale every January I go to.

I'm telling you...REALLY good. I was super happy (and they fit you there, so it isnt a guessing game). They have a lot of European bra makers, so you get a better..fit dare I say?

You would think with how outspoken I am, it wouldnt be a problem.

You were responding to this while attending my meeting. *wags her finger at you*

Be nice or I will knit something for you. (I'm making this for Dom)

I know the feeling. Boobs or no boobs, knitting with nice yarn can be expensive and for those of us who've gotten the gift of mother nature's implants (nursing), it's worse.

Have you thought of using it along with another less expensive yarn? Stripes maybe? Or using the other yarn for cuffs, hem and neckline?

You know I didnt even go up a whole cup size from nursing....which is really crappy.

Yeah..but it's cashmere merino, and it's soft... and ....
