Can you believe this?!?!

Yeah, it is what it looks like! I friggin ran out of yarn!!! Stomping foot! I was hoping the next post would be the pics of the finished garment. However, there are two good sides to this. You're probably scratching your head right now trying to quickly access what the one good side could be. Well, I was just happily knitting away when I suddenly ran out of yarn. First I thought, maybe my yarn had snapped. However, not too far in the back of my mind I knew there was the possibility that...it was a wrap. As you can see, I knitted right up until the end of the strand. My goodness! This could have been horrible if the strand ran out in the middle of my row! I don't even want to entertain that thought. So anywhoo, that's the first saving grace. The second is pretty obvious by now. It's black! So, I'll order more & hope my knitting bug doesn't die before it gets here. :(

Lucky that the yarn ran out at the end of the row. Not familiar with knitting machines is it really difficult to undo a row if the yarn had run out in the middle of a row?

I used a knitting machine and just couldn't get the hang of it. But I do hate when I run out in the middle of a row int hand knitting as well.

Ha ha Sheila. Undoing a row is what I could hope for if I ran out of yarn in the middle of the row. Knitting without yarn in the carriage is how we take the knitting off of the knitter. See my point. ;]

Tracy-Hand or machine, I think we all have pretty much the same reaction when we run out of yarn. "Oh hell!

running out of yarn in the middle of things is such a pain!! Hopefully the new yarn will arrive quickly.
