Well, I was going to wait until tomorrow, but I finished so quick and thought I’d share the results today: I WON! 
I weighed the yarn, purled a round, weighed again, and thought I might have to skip a round. Knit a round, weighed again, and thought I might just squeak by. Purled the final round, and then it was time to decide: Jeny’s stretchy bind off or normal bind off? I’m apparently a bit of a daredevil, because I went with Jeny’s, even though it takes more yarn. And I made it through with less than 5 yards to spare! HaHA! Take that, stupid yarn.
Yeah, yeah, I know, if I’d checked gauge first blah blah blah. I get it, I just don’t want to do it. And look, it worked out okay, right?

Glad it worked! When will we see that FO that made our blood pressure rise from anxienty?
I think she’s releasing the pattern in early August, so you’ll forget all about it and then I’ll be like “hey remember this?” 🙂
I won’t forget this 🙂
Where did your lovely purple hair go? Or did you just change the photo?
*whispers* I’m job hunting, and didn’t want the purple hair (which will probably have to go away before interviews) to turn off potential employers. It’s still here…for now. 🙂
Ah, I understand that. You can always reintroduce them once you’ve got the job and got to know everyone and they got to know you 🙂
Exactly. There are some employers who wouldn’t mind, and that’s why I haven’t changed it yet. Waiting for interviews!
I keep my fingers crossed for you 🙂
Thank you!
Hurrah!!! I am glad you won, and look forward to being able to se whatever it is that took almost all the yarn. 🙂
Great win! 😊
Woohoo! Glad you won at yarn chicken, it’s a fist-pump in the air moment when that happens 🙂
Nice…
