So, I was happily knitting away on my Draped Vest, amazed at how quickly I was knitting the right front when I got a very bad feeling. I counted my yarn labels, and examined my completed pieces, and checked the pattern, and re-checked my gauge (spot on, for once), and weighed everything, and have now come to the conclusion that I do not have enough yarn to finish the project. According to the label, the yarn is supposed to come in 50 g balls. According to my scale, I am about 16 grams short overall. The pattern calls for 8 balls for the small size. I bought 8 balls. But it now looks like every one was about 2 grams short, on average. Sigh.
Well, maybe this is a blessing in disguise. I really am not that crazy about the yarn, it is just a bit scratchier than I like. I do, however, like the pattern. And I do have some purple Aurora 8 in my stash that might make a good substitute...
It has just been one of those days. I also decided that I wasn't happy with my Fresh Ink Cardigan and decided to frog that. The yarn just deserves a better pattern. Not sure what, yet, but I have been browsing the pattern library on Ravelry.
