wool woes

i'm almost done knitting my tomten sweater but gaah! i don't enough to finish the sleeve .... i bought the last 4 skeins of cute variegated wool (Lorna's Laces Bullfrogs and Butterflies Multi) on sale at the Knit Cafe with Willa, and figured i had plenty. no no no
I don't really feel have the time to search online for the dye lot etc .. so am going to the local wool shop today in hopes i can find a solid colour to finish it off with - wish me luck

the same exact thing happened with me and my silk garden tomten!!
I was gonna use a solid green but I think I'm gonna go for grey... I don't want it to stand out too much.
Weird.

Oh noes!
I feel you pain- I've been there a few times...

You've got a few colours to play with there, so I'm sure you'll find a solid that will work.

My fingers are crossed for you!
