I've had this skein of madtosh vintage (in Glazed Pecan) for years now - I bought it when I lived in Japan on one of my sporadic yarn binge international orders from WEBS - and am finally doing something with it. The only problem is that because I've had it for so long, somewhere along the way I wound it up and used an unknown amount of it, because now that I've reached the decrease section of the hat, I'm running precariously low on yarn. Damn you, self of the past! So here's hoping the madtosh community on Ravelry bails me out in my quest for Glazed Pecan remnants, because buying another full skein just to finish a hat would sort of defeat the purpose of knitting from your stash...
I have SO run into that in the past. I have since then bought a digital yarn scale, which helps.
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome idea! I've definitely run into this problem before, so a digital scale would be really smart.
DeleteOh no! What a shame! I may have some glazed pecan from my Larch Cardigan. I'm hopefully pulling out my stash and going through it soon since I'm moving. I'll let you know if I come across it! Your hat looks so lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that'd be amazing if any turns up! Let me know!
DeleteHow frustrating! I have some glazed pecan but not vintage so I'm afraid I'm of no help! Still, MadTosh is mad wonderful and you might want to buy a few more skeins to then knit up some mitts to go with your cowl?
ReplyDeleteHehe, that's the plan! Not the worst problem to have by far :)
DeleteOh, I hope you can get some more from someone! On the plus side, the hat is looking completely lovely! That color is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
Deletearg, the beginning looks so nice though, I hope you can find some on ravelry !
