ruh roh Ribby r-anxiety was the name of the game last week. I was soooo running out of yarn on the yoke. I made it up to the beginning of the neck shaping just as I started my last skein. After double checking the pattern and seeing that I only I had eight more rows to go before the neck started, I thought I should just go for it and try to do the whole neck.
Whew! I have this much to spare. Now I can get to seaming up this big blue giant. I didn't want to seam anything before I knew that I had enough yarn. So now, it's green light for sewing. Whoopee. posted by alison at 8:13 am | in

Posted by: Amber at August 25, 2003 9:33 AMOMG - I hate that when that happens - more often than I like, too. Who was the ninny that wrote that pattern anyway... It's lookin' gooood, Alison and soon will be cold enough to wear it! I personally am not a humidity person and much prefer sweater weather to plain sweat weather... Posted by: Bonne Marie at August 25, 2003 11:06 AMYou have close calls like that before. Glad it all worked out.

LOVING my yarn -- very smooth, still seems to have a lot o' lanolin in it. i should have enough yarn - these cones have 1,600 yards total - or that's what i ordered anyway!
