Shortage
Last Wednesday I happily knitted my Clapotis, hurrying to complete. And suddenly, I doubt if I have the yarn enough. It was around the second circle of the decreasing section. At first I thought it isn't possible, for I bought the original yarn of the pattern, the required quantity, 3 skeins of Lion & Lamb. But apparently, it became clear that I cannot finish the priject due to lack of yarn. Oh-ah. But why?? I counted correctly the number of stitches when the increasing section finished, and I repeated the straight section as it should be, I believe...but, even if I repeated the pattern once more than the original, that I wonder, the yarn doesn't look enough for finishing the project.
My poor Clapotis is so far now waiting for arriving the yarn. You know, the yarn isn't a cheap one, and I have to order to US...and of course, I absolutely cannot get the same lot now...Gee. I am so dissapointed, so I needed something to console my sadness....you know...I bought some more yarns at the same time!!! Will show you what it is, when it arrives.
And, now I am obliged to start the Bohus kit(YEY!)before finishing Clapotis against my resolution, so far.
Actually the pattern is simple and just for cuffs, I am sooooo enjoying to knit it! Wanna see close-up?
As the pattern requires to use wool & mohair togather throughout the project, the color transforms softly and beautifully. I reduced the stitches for I want fitted gloves instead of roomy mittens, so it would appear differently. anyway I am hooked now, I have to be careful not to forget my Clapotis, and other WIPs.
