Houston, we have a problem...
My worst fears have been realized. I am twelve tiny rows from the end of this shawlette, and as you can see from the photograph, I do not have twelve (even tiny) rows worth of yarn left. What I feared when I switched to my third ball has transpired: I'm short yarn. I need only about four more yards, but it might as well be 400 yards. Eeek! Now what?
As I see it, I’ve got three options:
- End the shawl here and hope nobody notices one end is slightly thicker than the other--I guess it to be about half an inch of width and one “sawtooth”
- Go find the yarn on the internet and attempt to match the dye lot
- Find the yarn locally, and forget any dyelot matching
Chime in with your advice!

From an non-knitter-but-wannabee-someday: can you "unknit" the other end by the same so the ends match?
Hey Allie -
Call me or email for more yarn. We ship!

I hadn't thought of that, armadele-oh. It's worth consideration.
And Jerry, that's definitely a possibility...I'm going to see if I can hunt down some locally (so I can eyeball it for color match) but you may be hearing from me--you were my first thought.
Another reader sent me the idea of putting out a request for a couple of yards on Ravelry. What creative thinkers DestiKNITers are!
