I got to the end of the skein and was rethinking the whole project (do I *really* need a row of green?), but then when I was organizing, I found some leftover from much earlier in the project! I was feeling so good! Right up until I ran out 2 stitches from the end of the row 😭

I thought it was disaster until I found a little more yarn! …which was not quite enough 😭

It’s not technically yarn chicken bc I still have some stashed but we’re moving so I can’t finish it now.

Cheating at yarn chicken, at least C2C makes it easy

I need one more blanket square out of this mystery worsted weight coral I got at a thrift store. My squares are coming out at 23g. I have exactly 23g left. Wish me luck

1 stitch away 

One of my cats ate a section of the end of this cowl I knitted. I had to cut it and then frog it a few rows, picking up stitches as I went. I only had a little bit of yarn left from the original project and was *not* going to buy more because it's a luxury fiber and quite pricey.  

I was starting to sweat a little as I started the 4th row from the bind off. I was even calculating how difficult it would be to unpick the woven in end with this mohair in order to frog the section I cut off. Thank heavens it didn't come to that. 

And now I have a safer place to store my woolens from the kitties. They seem to have a particular fondness for mohair. They also damaged some mohair trim on a shawl.  The little stinkers!

I still need to block it, but I'm so glad it's done!  I'm also including the before photo and a photo of my yarn leftovers before I started. My label says I had 17g of yarm left when I started and finished with 0.9g.

Ended up pulling yarn from the middle and outside of the ball so I could make both sleeves at the same time! Better to have two 3/4 sleeves than one full length 🤪 
(Also it’s a baby sweater, so hopefully will look less crop top-y when on an infant!)

ULTIMATE YARN CHICKEN!

First day finding this sub and I have a few pictures from weeks ago that fit perfectly! I was making a blanket with different color variations of a basic granny square design (first big project!) and on one of my squares I was so close, yet so far. I decided to just finish it off with a different color, but my heart still lies with lilac and yellow 💛💜

<div class="md"><p>Yarn chicken is a term used to describe the feeling of uncertainty about having enough yarn to finish a knitting project. 
This is a place to brag about our yarn chicken successes, to get sympathy for our yarn chicken fails, and to share hints on using every scrap of yarn!</p>
