So Iāve posted in a couple places about a Christening Blanket Iām trying to make for my daughter before the begininng of Julyā¦
The saga/woes continue
So like the square CAL, Iāll keep updating here in one thread instead of multipleā¦
Iād appreciate prayers that I can figure out how to accommodate the lack of yarn and still finish in time⦠Thankfully itās my design, so I have wiggle room⦠I just really wanted 240 rows to get the length I wanted
Iām headed to the atore now to see if they have the same dye lot⦠But may also find a way to use a different dye lot⦠Or just make it around 210 rows and a different color border⦠Weāll see after I get to the store (so thankful hubby understands and is willing to drive me today, sleep deprivation makes it unsafe today)
So, I didnāt find the same dye lot,. But found 2 skeins of another⦠So Iāll rip back to the start of row 61 and use the fade technique to join the new dye lot, work with that dye lot until I finish row 180 and fade back to the 1st dye lot, ending and bordering in the 1st dye lot⦠Little extra work, but itāll be worth it⦠Honestly my local Michaels never has more than 2 or 3 of the same dye lot, so Iām not really surprised, just bummed about ripping back when Iām already behindā¦
@OBabyNMore I wish I could reach through the screen and help you with your crochet problems (when you take a break I would continue it for me ) Praying for you!!
Ok⦠I ripped out just over 11 rows⦠Then started adding the new dye lot for 2 rows, followed by the original dye lot for 2 rows, will continue in this manner for 20 rows then will switch to new dye lot until I need to fade back to original dye lot (at row 160)ā¦
I took a quick pic tonight, but only had about 30 seconds before my daughter was going to lose her mind for bedtime, so it doesnāt show the texture or the design wellā¦
Finally took another progress photo⦠Just finished row 157 in this pic⦠Realized I made a mistake all the way back at the beginning, but can fix it by eliminating a few rows at the end⦠It wonāt effect the design at all, just the size⦠Itās not a big deal, but Iām a little bummedā¦
