Cables, yarn consumption, and jumpers

knittingbansheeAmazing how much cables change the consumption of yarn in a project.
I bought enough yarn when we visited New Lanark in July to make a jumper. Then I decided against making that one, because it is worked in pieces and then sewn together, and I don’t like sewing knitwear.
So I picked another one to make. Kate Davies’ Port o’ Leith, which I’ve been meaning to make for ages.
Turns out I used less than half the yarn I bought (6 skeins out of 13) for that. I haven’t made the collar yet, but that should take just over one ball of it...
So I’m considering making another Owls jumper with the remaining 7 skeins, and leave the collars for later... I can always make that one with what’s left of the iris colourway of the yarn that I used to make the Sheperd’s hoodie.
