Outrunning the Yarn

Last week I was digging through my stash (which I’m hoping to organize at some point in the not-too-distant future) and stumbled upon a yummy skein of Bluefaced Leicester from one of my favourite (Canadian!) yarn dyers, Oceanwind Knits.

On a whim, I cast on for a Summer Wind cowl and knit a bit whenever I was in between creative bursts for work. And then today I discovered something.

Running Out of Yarn

I don’t think I actually have enough yarn to finish. My fingers are crossed but I’m not convinced. In fact, I’m clinging to the (rather small) hope that if I knit faster I can somehow outrun the yarn and bind off with inches to spare. I know this doesn’t seem plausible — but really, Knitter Logic seldom limits itself to physics.

So tomorrow I plan to finish the skein of yarn — and hopefully also the cowl. Wish me luck… and that knitter logic will somehow prevail!

    How pretty – a cowl for Leah?

    That color is beautiful. How did it go? Did you have enough yarn? Looking forward to seeing it.
