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!)

Will the sleeves be full length or 3/4…

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 💛💜

2. Also see how I had to use a tiny scrap of speckled black cuz my black yarn ran out haha
3. Hat looks cute either way

I like this flair

I consider this a yarn chicken win

<div class="md"><p>Lost on the 2nd round 31, any idead?</p>
</div>

My adipose from Dr Who, lost 2 rounds from the end, any suggestions

I weighed and split my yarn evenly for my sleeves, but this last sleeve somehow used a bit extra yarn. I had about 25 stitches left, so I sacrificed my swatch and called it a win!

I never fully bind off my swatch for this reason.  I bind off the top edge, but place the last stitch on a stitch marker.  Then I add a label with my needle size, gauge measurement, and which swatch it is if I've knit multiples.  Makes borrowing from the swatch much easier!

Had to cannibalize my swatch! But I won!

I literally thought this was yarn chicken until 3 days ago 

Literal centimeters away from losing but I STILL WON ‼️ (I’m just cool like that 😼)

I know it looks like a lot but I wanted to make another row and I think it would be more feasible to make a slip stitch border with what I have left so I don't lose🫣

I am not sure I'll make it and I don't have the tag anymore to buy more 

Lost

Another day- another game of yarn chicken. 

Oh no, lost while making my first shawl

Lost yarn chicken with my blue, but the impromptu yellow turned out cute I think!

Lost on the last round

I had enough of the other colors. It really was just this one that I was playing chicken with. I somehow made it to the color change, though i did end up using a piece of scrap yarn i had cut off earlier in the same color.

I'm making a pumpkin bowl for my friends gender reveal party, and I cut it wayyyy too close on one of the colors

I turned this sorrow into a YARN CHICKEN SUCCESS!! Here is a chance to share a Yarn Chicken Miscalculation that you completed in a different yarn. ***NEW WEEKLY POST***

Stash busting, not buying more, but clearly didn’t make this last row. 

bro… 😭😭

<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>
