At this stage, I have 6 rows still to be done in colour 4. It just won&#8217;t make it. \ud83d\ude41<br \/>\nSo I lost countless hours of sleep last night. I tossed and turned, seeking a solution. Obviously my row gauge is off. I only checked stitch gauge (which is a little under). I could <i>*gulp*<\/i> frog her again and use smaller needles. This solution is probably best, but I&#8217;m just not capable of it.<br \/>\nI could just do the remainder in colour 5, it&#8217;ll probably be fine. Yes, but *I&#8217;d* know. And colour 4 is my favourite.<br \/>\nOr I could ring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.threadbearfiberarts.com\/\">Threadbear<\/a> and seek out an extra skein of colour 4.<br \/>\nGuess what I did?<br \/>\nI rung across the world \ud83d\ude42 I was very very <i>very<\/i> impressed that as soon as I said &#8220;Hi! I&#8217;d like to order a skein of Koigu&#8221; Rob said &#8220;Donna?&#8221;<br \/>\nHonest, I&#8217;ve only rung once before. I told my DH this, and I&#8217;m sure he thinks I&#8217;m calling in orders twice a week \ud83d\ude09 How lucky for me that Rob only had a few lonely skeins left, and one of them was not only the right colour, but the right dyelot!! Woo Hoooooo! Obviously, I was meant to have this skein, and finish Charlotte off properly \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nI had enough for 2 more rows, so I&#8217;ve done up to Row 132 now, but she has to rest now until I get that extra skein. While I was on the phone, I ordered a Katia Kids book too. Why waste the opportunity?<br \/>\nBut I was very impressed \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nStill no yarn for Wendy&#8217;s tank. These people could learn a thing or two from Threadbear \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nAnd today I leave you with an example of how a naughty bunny upsets her Mum.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"keyboard.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/keyboard.JPG\" width=\"365\" height=\"246\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here&#8217;s the progress on Charlotte.
