I’m playing a game of Yarn Chicken today. I’m *thisclose* to finishing my test knit cowl, and I have four rounds (260 stitches per round) plus the bind off, and this is what’s left of the yarn. That’s a whopping 8 grams. What do you think, will I make it?? Maybe if I knit really fast, I’ll finish before the yarn runs out!
My guess is NO, and I’ll have to leave off a row or two of the border. It’s either that or frog back the last pattern repeat, and I’m not sure I want to do that.
Check back tomorrow to see what happens!
man! It will be close, but I think no. I would pull back a repeat now before you go to far, and weigh the yarn, so you know how much it takes to do a row. 🙂 Then go forward from a place of knowledge and be victorious over the yarn!
That’s what the logical part of my brain was saying, but then I’d think “Frog all that??”
Ooh close call! Hope you find a way. 😊
Oh, I will, one way or another! 😉
I’d try the knitting fast part even though I usually know better. Does the pattern allow to skip a row or two at the end? Then I would do that.
Yeah, the pattern ends with four rows of garter stitch, so it would be super easy to leave off a row or two without hurting anything.
I love the idea that knitting faster will somehow produce more yarn. I do that, too!
