So... this was originally supposed to be posted 2 WEEKS AGO... but for some reason I messed up and it didn't. I haven't worked on the shawl since, and still need help :(
I haven't played chicken since the seventh grade, and even then I didn't really play, just watched two kids kick each other on the monkey bars. I just didn't see the point in fighting with someone for some arbitrary title of more stubborn.
But, here I am, right at the end of my shawl. This is a point where I should be knitting furiously, excited to see what it will look like when I'm done.
Instead... I feel like I'm racing against myself. This is all the yarn I have left!
This sucks. I just know, deep down, that I'm going to run out. It just depends on when. I started out with supposedly more than enough...
So, I have three options:
1.) Knit until I run out, then finish the shawl with a contrasting color. This is not really an optin because I don't want to do it :/
2.) Knit until I run out, figure out that limit, and then frog back a few repeats of the main lace pattern and make the shawl a little shorter.
3.) Frog back a few repeats of the center lace pattern now, and just hope that I picked enough yarn.
there is another option, I guess, which would be to frog the entire thing back and knit something else... but I don't really want to do that.
So... what should I do?
Hopefully I make a decision one way or another... Or it'll be like that sweater that has been neatly folded on my desk for like six months...
