This one had me sweating

Pardon the baby feet. Made what turned out more mug rug sized, or just real small trivet. But with the jasmine stitch I was terrified of running out of yarn before the end of a row. I did a test and whats left isn’t enough for a single jasmine stitch 😳

I need 3 squares of this color & this is all I have left to make 3 increase rows. My brain is sweating. This is a scrap blanket & there is no more of this yarn... please wish me luck that I can win this! It's going to be very close! If any is left it's going into a magic knot ball!

Had to finish the toe with a different yarn

Both yarns are handspun.

Seriously?!

Really, I think it's a draw. I can frog a bit and fix my tension, but seriously, I have one single crochet left!!?

Cutting it too close

I did the math based off of the first half and it should have been enough but my tension has been all over the place so I’m pretty sure imma about to lose this game…

I finished an entire vest with this much yarn to spare

I used 7 skeins and I had severe anxiety while working on the last bit

The game has just begun

I want to run a row of hdc but really don't think I have enough so going to try sc around the bottom edge of the whole shawl. I'm scared (it's mohair) but determined. I'll make it right...riiiight?

I won!

Glasses for scale. It’s a lace weight colour gradient so matching the colour would have been difficult. Undoing it to the next opportunity to start the decreases would have lost me at least 15 hours of work, probably more. Now I need to lie down, this was too exciting 😮‍💨
