I had a momentary panic attack. I had purchased 9 balls of yarn for the Knitting Olympics project. This amounted to 99o yards. Earlier this evening I read the pattern and thought that it said that the pattern called for 975 METERS, which would have been 1066 YARDS or 1 ball more than what I had.
DH and I went for a walk and on getting in the door I thought I would give one more glance over the pattern to see just how many balls I would be short. On re-reading I found that it did say "975 YARDS so, I may be pushing it with 990 yards but it isn't as bad as I had thought.
So, for those of you who had read the previous post (which I just edited and removed) put it down to lack of attention on my part.

Maybe the second time you read the pattern, the effects of the wine had worn off :p
Just kidding, I have done very similar things.
Right now I am marvelling at the fact that I got terrific yarn for my sweater at a great price. I have spent more time just looking at this terrific yarn than actually doing anything with it because...it just looks so pretty.
