I'm on the final part of the "Violets" shawl, have reached row 5 which is the interesting row in the Faggoting and Honeybee section and have dropped a stitch, being knitted in silk This has laddered spectacularly - just as the bus came to my stop!
I pushed it into my bag and will spend my lunch break trying to get it back on track without having to do major ripping!
I'm also trying to work out if I will have enough yarn - my gauge is looser than it should be, I have 5 rows to go and I think only enough yarn for 4 - it's hard trying to knit with my fingers crossed.
Posted by Yvonne at September 15, 2005 10:43 AMI have my fingers and toes crossed it all works out - there is nothing worse than almost getting there and feeling the yarn run out between your fingers (do you speed up when that happens? - I do, dumb, but there you go). Officially I am now free of the thing-which-must-not-be-mentioned, how exciting is that AND I have just started the Klee scarf from two_pointy_sticks.blogspot.com (exquisite). The postie left me a note to say I had to pay £16 charge on it and they were all waiting for me at the post office with baited breath - they were wondering what was in the tiny parcel!!!
So now I can knit with clear conscience.
You never know how long the last bit of yarn will last. It can surprise you.
