Before I started I expressed a bit of concern because my grey was fairly lean looking after doing the previous two pairs of gloves for him. The closer I got to the end of the cuff the more nervous I got. I cut it closer than I've ever cut it before.
Just had enough. Meanwhile my head is killing me as I was up until 4am working on the store website. Why must html and tables be so difficult? At least the page that was giving me fits is done (Dreamcatchers) ... now to figure out how to format the Knitting Gallery.
It's always nerve-wracking when the yarn is that close.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever been that close before. I generally over estimate my needs by a little.
DeleteOh my, I've never come that close before. Nice looking glove.....how nice for Dragon you are willing to make another if one is lost.
ReplyDeleteHave to keep one of my favorite guy's hands warm. :) I was entertaining the idea of asking him to buy another skein though ... just in case.
DeleteYikes! That was a close call. I hope you get a better nights sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteNow that the website is finished I think I'll do better on the sleep portion. :) I'm hoping to not cut it that close on the yarn again though.
DeleteNothing like a good game of yarn chicken :)
ReplyDeleteYarn chicken, *laugh* I like that idea. At least now I have more yarn that's perfect for Miss Kid to use as life lines.
DeleteHee hee... yarn chicken. Not a fan of it myself, but have been there holding my breath on more occasions than I would like to admit. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was the closest one yet. I'm still fairly impressed that I was able to eyeball the skein and decide that it was enough (and be right). Normally I ask the Husband to commit maths for me.
DeleteGreat job squeezing just enough out of that grey to make it work! :-) That's a really nice style of glove!
ReplyDeleteI really love that patter, it's perfect for pretty much anybody. :D
