The knitting gods smiled on me
I had a once in life time experience when it come to knitting. I started a scarf for my husband a year & 1/2 ago using gorgeous bamboo yarn I got from Unwind Yarn Shop. I made the mistake of letting my non-knitting husband pick out the pattern so it turned out to be a little more complicated that I intended. It requires my undivided attention so I haven’t worked on it much. Sunday night I picked the scarf back up and after doing some math realized I would not have enough yarn to finish.
Normally this would be a disaster. There is no way a year & 1/2 after I purchased the yarn that the yarn shop would still have 3 skins of yarn in the same dye lot. But they did! I couldn’t believe my luck. For those of you who don’t knit or crochet this is very important because if you purchase yarn from a different dye lot it is very likely that the yarn will be a slightly different color and it will be very visible in your finished product.
Considering the time I have put into the scarf and it will require to finsih, I super excited to actually find the exact yarn I need and not have to “wing” it.
