I'm going to run out of yarn. I've been (slowly) plugging away on a nearly 100% stockinette stitch sweater. Ya, fun. It's made a knitting machine look awfully appealing.
I've completed the arms, fronts, and most of the back, on this yoked sweater. I'm not going to have enough yarn to complete the yoke. The sad part is that I've held it up to me and it appears that it may be too large around. What do I do? Continue into the 80's and make it an off the shoulder sweater? Rip back and start over?(I assure you this is not an option) Knit the yoke and button bands in a different colour? use a different dye lot? Put it in the "ugh" pile and call it good?
I've already searched Ravelry to see if anyone has the yarn in the same dye lot. Nope.
In cooking news: Do you make lasagne with no boil noodles? Do they often become curly? Mine do. I figured it was normal, until this morning. I was watching a Cooks Illustrated podcast on lasagne and they said to soak the no boil noodles in hot water for 10 minutes. The curling will stop!

I hate it when this happens.
Knit the yoke & band in different dye lots?? Would you have enough then?
I would have enough if I did that. I noticed that Webs has this yarn on clearance so I might order the color I'm using and maybe brown as well, in case I don't like the look of 2 dye lots. I have also considered fairisle for the yoke but 1)After the Endpaper Mitts, I have no desire to try it again, and 2)the yoke in the pattern is ribbed. Luckily I've been too busy to knit so I haven't had to think about it much.
