Ack! Half a skein short! ISO (in post 6)!
I picked up an old project and started to finish it off for a friend's baby shower. I'm going to be short by only a few yards. Any suggestions what to do since the yarn isn't made any more and so far I haven't had any luck tracking down someone who has any? My DH said I should just make the last corner (it's knitted on the diagonal" a different color. Um, no.
Re: Ack! Half a skein short! ISO (in post 6)!
A couple of options come to mind:
1. See if anyone has it on ravelry. Some people have stashes listed, and are willing to sell/trade
2. Find a way to rip back enough that you can make it smaller without starting all over. Might be tough if it's on the diagonal

Is it a baby blanket knit in the diagonal? If so, could you add a different color on the corner and make a "hood" for it?
Or knit back a few rows and switch to a smaller needle for the last bit? It won't be super noticeable, and might make give you a enough extra yarn.
Bazinga!

Hmm, I'll have to see if I have circular needles that are just a little smaller. It is chunky enough that might just be the best solution at this point. I don't want to shrink down too much, but it might work.
I thought about the hood option, but I'm just not sure it will work with as heavy as this blanket is. It's definitely a warmth & comfort type blanket with the way it is turning out.
I already did searches on Ravelry, local CL, Ebay, Freecycle, Facebook, etc. with no luck so far. I'm still working on finding more, but I think the smaller needle solution might be my best bet at this point.
I wasn't sure if that would violate codes of conduct.
I need both Sage Green and White of Caron Simply Soft QUICK (extra bulky)
Not at all.
But I don't have any of that yarn

The green is going to be really really hard to match. Thankfully, I just got an email on ravelry that I can get some. I have some homespun white that I'm hoping will pass as a substitute. I just wish I'd realized earlier that I'd have this problem. I think I could've done a couple of things differently and avoided this. Oh well.
Yay, assuming there is follow through, Ravelry found me some green. No one wants to sell their white of this brand, but I think I have something that will work. Thank goodness!
