Not Buying Enough Yarn, When You Think You Did.

I've been working on this Airy Spring Throw non stop and I'm completely loving the pattern. I 've reached the border and I have about 2 and a half rows left and I have completely run out of yarn! It's so frustrating to me because I did all of the math calculations when I started so that I would have enough in the end and now it turns out that I didn't quite make it. I wouldn't make such a big deal out of this but I was using the Caron One Pound and I don't want to have to buy a whole other pound just to finish 2 and a half rows. Ugh! On a happier note, I've decided to share with you this monkey I made a long time ago. He's over on the left. Sadly when I went to buy the yarn they didn't have just plain ecru so I purchased a ecru color with little brownish flecks interspersed throughout, which worked out quite well. The monkey had a very odd construction that didn't involve any sewing which is a huge plus in my book. It was all conected as you went, which was rather hard to understand to start off with; but eventually it became much more clear to understand. I would reccomend this pattern to a very early beginner because it is worked entirely in single crochet and goes quickly enought so that you don't lose interest. The pamflet with the pattern also contained other patterns for clothing to dress your monkey in. I didn't make the clothing but I'm sure that the patterns for the clothing would be just as simple as the monkey itself.
