Classic mistake

Here is what the 'american girl' doll sweater will look like when it's completed. Nice pattern, good directions and pretty easy to knit so far. It's from knittingatnoon.com
Here it is still on the needles the body done, one sleeve done and one only half knitted. The problem? I've run out of yarn. I thought I would have enough but I had already used some of the skein to knit some mice parts so I shouldn't be suprised but I was. Did I check the pattern to even see if I had enough from the start. No. My fault totally. I rushed to the local yarn store where I bought the yarn 2 months ago but they were out of that color. Then it was on to the web and success. It's a widly available yarn so this project will be on hold for a little while, until it arrives in the post. No worry though, it can join the pile of other started projects. Next time I'll pay attention.
