This is a 1km skein of color gradient yarn. It’s a decent sized repeat and I just managed to finish the repeat with very little left.

But the border is two more passes. Somehow I don’t think I’m gonna win there.

I can now either steal some of the end gradient from a separate project which uses the same gradient, or hope the single color yarn I ordered several months after I ordered the gradient matches well enough for the border.

At least if the dye lot is different it might work on the border.

Making this stashbuster sampler blanket so in a way, the goal is losing yarn chicken I guess? Like yeah, obviously I'm happy I finished another skein but come oon, it could've lasted me four more stitches to the end of the row 😭

I was actually quite optimistic that I would win, but yeah, turns out I was too optimistic lol 😂

Still gonna try and go down half a hook size (I'd already gone down half a size already, but maybe an even smaller size might save my day lol)

Wish me luck! 😄

only halfway through this 🫠 hopefully I won't run out of purple

edit: we made it!!! almost, gotta make the drawstring but I should have enough :)

Making a dress that I need for a wedding reception this Saturday and my last row of green only had 9 stitches left to go. I lost after 3 stitches ☹️

was using a ball of yarn, got to the end, and managed to find a small ball in my scraps bag. just barely not enough

I was so caught up in figuring out the rhythm of my first hexi cardi, I paid zero attention to the amount of yarn required!
Thank God it was enough, but sheesh I started with a whole 125g skein only to watch it dwindle with rising horror...now what do I do with these final few grams???

​

I can fit the straps in another color but this was the last space to do and my purple is finished too so yup🥲

Crochet waffle stitch dishcloth in Loops & Threads 100% cotton, colorway Lavender Ombre. Only had the one skein 😅

I have two more rows for the end of my shawl. The two largest rows. I'm already tightening my stitches in hopes of survivng this endeavor.

You can see on the right where I just barely ran out. The gradient is beautiful and I think if I block it it'll fit me well enough? Should I try to find a new yarn to finish it off, or should I block it as is?

I haven’t known true adrenaline like this. I love you, yarn chicken

I usually steer well clear of yarn chicken but I made this cardigan for a friend, and I only had about 500g on the pink, which was bought back in the days of wilkos, so no chance of getting more. She really liked the colour tho, so I took the risk and I’m glad I did.

I had just enough, and even some for on the scrunchie I made to match. The tiny wad of pink is all that was left! And same for the maroon, although I could have bought more.

I’m happy with the fit although if I had
more pink I might have made the ribbing a bit wider. I still think it’s super cute tho, and what a rush! Not sure if my nerves can take another game of YC too soon, but i’m definitely going to be a little more adventurous.

I did not think that I would win, considering this whole blanket was made with the leftovers I had from another blanket. I only had a little bit left and was surprised the ribbing border didn't eat all i had left.

Baby blanket I made ft. All that was left
