My Baby Vertebrae for PB officially has two sleeves!
I can’t help but keep thinking the speckles of this yarn paired with this pattern are just so sharp looking! And the fabric has quite the soft hand to it even before washing. It’s 100% merino and a nice plump 4-ply DK. I just love it so hard. I have forbade the husband from even THINKING about washing this in fear of felting it. I might even make a dark red HAND WASH ONLY tag and affix to the inside, lol.
I’m very clearly ready for button bands. But guess what guys…I lost at yarn chicken….
All I have left is this TINY ball of yarn and an entire button band to knit on. I broke down and ordered another skein from Apothefaery Fibers in her Etsy shop in this same color. I know the skeins won’t likely match. But I only have the button band left and I’m okay if that color difference shows. I can totally spin that as intentional! Now I just have to sit and wait for the mailman to bring me my pretty!
Happy Knitting!!
Losing at yarn chicken stinks.
I’m always so afraid of that happening. I usually buy an extra hank or two.
And how did this sorry state of affairs come about, pray …?
I am able only to utter the all-encompassing word
TSK !
[grin]
This knitter did not gauge swatch 😊
Sighhh … Several more TSK!s, followed by the admission that not doing swatches is my worst failing.
Well, one of ’em.
😀
At least you could get more yarn that made you happy. That’s what matters. You can’t win them all!

Glad you were able to order more yarn! I’ve lost at yarn chicken, too. Keep living on the edge 😉
Hate losing at yarn chicken
