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!

Flamingo. The two small pieces are all that was left when I was done. I had thought I could get more, but nope. If this is a duplicate post, I'm sorry. I tried to post this a week ago, but it doesn't appear to have posted.

UPDATE: In a desperate attempt to not have to buy a new skein of yarn, i searched through my entire yarn stash and stumbled across some leftover yarn from when i was making the sleeves in December last year🥹
I THINK THIS’LL BE ENOUGH YARN FOR ME TO FINISH🥹

I won!
I always buy more than enough yarn, maybe even too much, but this time I decided to risk it with leftover yarn and I won!

I picked the right place to start the decreases!
I have no idea when or from where this bit of multicolored cotton entered our house and got partly used, but I enjoyed making a baby hat with the rest of it, held together with another yarn. I’m counting it as a win even though it’s a flexible pattern because I didn’t have to go back and redo anything to make the yarn come out right (such as starting the decrease rounds sooner). I’m also happy that I don’t have enough left that I could have done another full-sized round before the decreases. Time to thread a yarn needle and cinch this thing closed!

A loss to start the new year
And I bought the yarn at a thrift store, so finding more is not likely. Guess I'll have to deal with it being one row short and uneven.
