The yarn for the mystery stole is beautiful though and I bet it will turn out great!

Ra...So glad you vented to knitters, we understand. Ran out of yarn? Wow, the fact that you didn't hurl the shawl across the room or do something evil to it shows you have incredible restraint. <BR/><BR/>I hate it when the amount of yarn specified is just on the verge of being enough. That way, if you run out, you have to buy a whole other skein/cone/whatever. So annoying. When you order more, ask if they can match the dye lot, though. Sometimes, they can. Don't be afraid to ask around. I've had some unexpected luck in the past, and I'm wishing you the same.<BR/><BR/>Gorgeous glove and mystery stole yarn, by the way. Just gorgeous.Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892116045581715793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27493408.post-1152550955896144552006-07-10T10:02:00.000-07:002006-07-10T10:02:00.000-07:00Whadda PITA!

At least you didn't do the completely doofus manouver of friggin unaligning two of your yo columns (yep 2) 32 rows back and notice it when you were ready to start the lacey pattern like I did! My Icarus is still on time out.<BR/><BR/>Where did you order the yarn from? Hopefully they have fast shipping! Maybe there is still some from the old dye lot - unless of course it was handdyed... Knitting disasters are no fun - I know the pain!<BR/><BR/>But the new yarn is awfully pretty, and still qualifies as purple (in a magenta-ey kind of way). And I bet the new socks are going to be wonderful!<BR/><BR/>AbiAbigalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117908892623144837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27493408.post-1152549224110403772006-07-10T09:33:00.000-07:002006-07-10T09:33:00.000-07:00I was on track to run out as well.

I ended up taking out the fifth repeat.<BR/><BR/>The crazy thing is the pattern says she only used 90g (or about 785 yards) of her yarn. So annoying.rincarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08912519154250090214noreply@blogger.com
