A game of #YarnChicken ahead.

I'm crocheting the Blue Belle Shawl https://richtexturescrochet.com/blue-belle-shawl-crochet-pattern/

But no the picot edge. The plan was to just finish with the all double #crochet row to give it a clean border.

I've a set amount of yarn and when I got close to the end I thought one more repeat would be in it. I'm now about to start that dc row and it's obvious there won't be enough yarn.

So I'm trying if it's enough yarn to do a single crochet row.

40 rows to go, each with 14 stitches plus turning chains.

I am not going to win yarn chicken.

I do have another ball of this yarn. It is packed in a box ready for moving. I did not make a note of which box I packed it in.

Oops

Nooooooooo #crochet #yarnchicken

Aujourd'hui j'ai appris l'expression "yarn chicken" : il s'agit, en tricot ou crochet, de commencer un rang ou un motif en fin de pelote, sans savoir si on a assez de fil pour le terminer.

Ça me parle beaucoup, j'ai souvent fait ça et je suis ravi d'apprendre que ça a un nom !

Ça vient de l'expression "chicken game" en anglais et certain.es utilisent l'expression "poulet de laine" en français mais j'aime moins car traduit littéralement, ça ne veut rien dire. Mais bon, "gagner ou perdre le poulet de laine" se dit aussi.

I thought I’d let my mind find a good solution for the London section of my cross stitch while I finish off a crochet project. Two Sophie’s gardens from a yarn cake with the aim of having them both finish on the same shade.

The one on the left was completed ages ago. The one of the right has 5 rows left to go.

That ball of yarn looks very small.

Don’t think I’m going to make it…

I've been playing the fun kind of #yarnChicken

You got it: cat, knitting, @thepwhlofficial Minnesota vs Ottawa. I have less than half an inch of the body left. Once I’m there, I’m going to do the arms before I do the bottom ribbing. #YarnChicken

That's what was left from a 600 m / 100 g ball of yarn. 2.4 m or 0.4 g.

My latest #knitting is finished, all ends woven in. It now just waits for its turn in the washing machine.
