And when it comes to yarn, that’s ok because you can just frog it and start over.
I went into The Altered Stitch a while back to get some more Eucalan, and found out I still had a credit from finishing a project for the owner last year. So of course I walked out with a couple skeins of yarn.
Specifically Witch’s Honor on Classic Sock by Rebel Yarn Co. I had the ambitious idea of creating a sock weight version of the Trellis Tee by Mother of Purl, which would be a super simple undertaking since the pattern is written to your measurements instead of by sizes.
And for the most part it was simple. Even with some “I don’t want to sew” modifications, It was working up quick. So quick that I didn’t notice I was running out of yarn until I did, about 3 inches away from the shoulder seam.
See, I made my original Trellis Tee with a giant skein of Ice Cream yarn by Lion Brand, with plenty left over. And the original used two skeins of the yarn they used. So I thought (without taking the weight of the yarn into account) that I could get away with the two.
I could not, and whenever I am able to actually make one I know I need at least 300 grams of yarn to do so. But now I know, and this yarn is getting turned into something else in the meantime.
