so why am I attempting to finish a sweater in this tweedy goodness in a month?

Shawn Worthington, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Northwestern Division in Portland, Ore., talks with participants taking the Hydropower Acquisition Course June 19, 2018 in Nashville, Tenn., about sharing processes, ideas and lessons learned, which is critical given the aging infrastructure at the hydropower plants where equipment and power units need to be rehabilitated, modernized and upgraded.

Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool 21 Bilberry

Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool 10 Woad

Gems Pure Merino Worsted Spun 80-2573-6

Jamieson's DK 168 Clyde Blue

I have not seen many blue yarns I've been pleased with -- apparently blue is out of fashion.
