I was making a cardigan for my daughter. All is done except button/ buttonhole band (one piece around the neck) and I'm out of yarn! It was a bag of yarn from ebay, so no way I can find this exactly thing even partial skein (or is there hope?). My calculation was tight but optimistic, too optimistic... Somehow I lost track of number of skeins in the middle because we were moving. Now I turned over all the boxed yarn again and again. Seems like it WAS the last skein.
What are the suggestions please?
It's made in one color, cuffs, bottom and band should be done in 1x1 rib knit. So far I came up with two possibilities:
1.I may add something completely different for the band and then do some simple embroidery thread along the rib knits. Hmmm... will probably look like I ran out of yarn at the end...
- I may cut yarn somewhere at the end of the cuffs/bottom rib knit, pull out yarn from couple of rows of each, making them shorter, graft what's left and use pulled out yarn to finish the band. That leaves me with single color and same yarn all over, although band will be made with knots/joins (may be not the best place to join yarn a few times...), and technically challenging.
Any other ideas????
Yulia on the edge of despair...
