Don't you just want to scream when you go to all the trouble of checking everything and make sure you have got every thing you need before you start a project and then just as you get towards the end you run out of wool ...........arrrrr im so MAD.
I had a large 400gram ball of aran wool and started knitting a waist coat I've done the two fronts an back there lovely knitted up so well I'm really chuffed with them but as the large ball started to collapse i re-wound the ball and ....um i thou rt to my self there never going to be enough here to do the bands and cap sleeves .
I double checked the pattern again to see was Inot looking at the wright thing ...... no it says for the size i was doing i only needed 8, 50gram balls and i had one large 400gram ball..........
well I'm not unraveling it all and i know that its cardinal sin ..........but I'm going to try and match up the wool and knit up the cap sleeves and bands .
I will just not be able to wear it next to any of my knitting ladies as they will properly be able to tell a mile off .................I'm so mad....
well praps its my own fault for buying the BARGAIN wool in the first place.......ha that will teach me
Arggh! That sounds irritating!
ReplyDeleteAs a suggestion - if you can't find a matching yarn in the same colourway/dyelot, try finding a contrasting colour. That way you could add contrasting bands and sleeves, which might look rather neat.
you cleaver thing .......why didnt i think of that.......
