So, so close, yarn chicken!

Posted on July 4, 2015 | 7 Comments

19 said yes, 19 said no. Ever the optimist, I forged on. And this is how close I got:

I made it! With 3 inches to spare. Just enough to sew in the end. It wasn’t really high stakes, because I would have just moved to the next color a little early, but I love a good game of yarn chicken. At least when I WIN.

Speaking of win, I did the random number thingy with the yes voters, and the winner is the 5th yes, Lindarumsey. I’m sending her an email to figure out what to send her, yarn, pattern, or other. Thanks to all for playing, and congrats to Linda!

Congrats also to pdxknitter, who won her own game of yarn chicken with 18 inches to spare. Woot! And sending good vibes to the Yarn Harlot, who is playing a much higher stakes game of yarn chicken…

    Woo hoo! Glad you made it. (I have a love/hate relationship with yarn chicken — I love the idea but the stress nearly does me in!)

    Yay, Linda. And this was fun… Glad you had (barely) enough! 🙂

      Yep! But I ended up ripping it out (after 16 more rows in new color) to add some strategic decreases. No chicken the second time; I knew I’d be knitting fewer stitches than the first!
