The good news: I was able to scoop up enough from the 'ends' (you know where one ball finishes and the next starts) to finish up the 2nd sleeve. Phew.
The Ugly: I still have the collar to knit!
My MIL was saying maybe it didn't need a collar and DH thinks that I should add a fur collar... 'errrm no' on both counts. I'm thinking that picking up some of this yarn in a different dyelot might not be the end of the world as it's just for the collar. And if there's a bit of difference in the shade it might be ok. (Better the collar than the top of the sleeve, right).
But before I resort to that, I'm going to continue the hunt for colour 31015 in the elusive dyelot 32.
aah the knitters nightmare! I think you'll be fine with a different dyelot on the collar though if you're unsuccessful in your yarn hunt.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Good luck with your hunt. I did notice they have that color at Yarn Market. I'll cross my fingers it is the right dyelot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer! I'll be crossing my fingers that you'll be able to find the same dyelot still. I LOVE how that sweater is turning out...I think I might need some of that yarn:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty! What a bummer. I hope you find the right dyelot.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you can find what you need, but I agree with you, if you can't a different dye lot might not be so noticeable if it's just on the collar - hopefully!
ReplyDeleteOh no! You were so close :( Good luck with the yarn search...I hope you can find the dye lot you need! But, if not, I think a slight difference in the collar would be ok.
ReplyDeleteI love your "creative directors" from the last post :D
That sucks. Good luck finding more. Maybe it doesn't need a collar?? I think that could be it unless it looks incomplete.
ReplyDeleteI would think somebody on Ravelry has got it. I'm crossing my fingers for you!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooooooo glad you found one lonely skein that needed a home! :)
