Almost

I have knitted up every last scrap of the Gedifra Highland Alpaca.

There is not enough yarn.  

When I started the second piece I had doubts.  When I finished the first of the two remaining balls of yarn I was convinced there would not be enough, but I talked myself into going a little further before deciding.

For a brief moment I thought there would be enough.  Then I fussed and worried and wondered if I had lost control over my gauge again, wondered if I could rip and reknit and possibly just get by.  I don't believe so.  The two pieces match each other perfectly for size.  Today, after unknitting my swatches and knitting them into the sweater, I broke down and ordered the final skein.

Luckily Colorful Stitches is pretty close and UPS tells me the new skein will be here tomorrow.

*sigh* You had that niggling feeling Thursday, and your intuition was correct. At least you'll be able to finish quickly, given the gauge.
