![]() ![]() It’s 6″ tall, because that’s what one skein of this yarn made. This cowl is 32″ in diameter, which is kind of an in-between length for me. Even when dancing, I’ve always been a back-leader! In planned pooling, the yarn is the leader and decides the size of the project because of the color repeat. I’m used to deciding what the yarn is going to do. Well, it’s interesting! It’s kind of like a dance. Not bad in a pinch, though!įinal thoughts on planned pooling. But I wouldn’t have wanted it for the entire bind off. This would have worked fine for my cowl, since a small area of of less stretchy edge wouldn’t have been too troublesome. Using a yarn needle, run a piece of yarn through last stitch and sew in ends. Lift the right stitch over the left stitch and off the right needle. I know, wut? Slip the stitches instead of knitting them, like this. What can you do in real life if you run out of yarn, and there isn’t more? If you don’t need a stretchy edge, you can bind off without knitting. I did have a little extra yarn left over from an overly cautious long tail cast on, so that saved the day. I ran out of yarn before the end of the bind off. Since the colors weren’t going to match, I didn’t feel that fussy, so I used a long tail cast on and the usual bind off. The bind off colors won’t match the knitting exactly binding off uses more yarn than a regular round of knitting. If you want matching cast on and bind off edges, you can use a provisional cast on, and then use your favorite bind off on both edges. Eventually I decided to stop paying attention and just let the colors dance, since I knew that they would more or less stack. But you do have to keep checking to see what your colors are up to. You don’t have to change gauge for the whole round, just enough to get the first stitches of the previous stacking to change. Of course I had to veer back to the left, by knitting a little tighter for a bit. Then I loosened my gauge for a bit to get the colors to veer to the right (because the colors were starting earlier than before). I started by trying to stack the colors exactly. ![]()
