Great! I had 3.5 total so that should be perfect. The problem is that while I was working on the brown item, I realized that weighing yarn on a cheap kitchen scale is not the same as weighing yarn on a nice yarny scale. What if it is slightly off?!? I thought this to myself a krajillion times as I knit and the ball got smaller. I should have requested more yarn after finishing the first bit.<br \/>\nLast Saturday, I was hanging out, chatting with a friend and was making progress and probably should have left at a reasonable 10 or 11 pm, but I was SO CLOSE to the end. Would I have enough yarn to finish the second half? I had to know.<br \/>\n<br \/>I did have enough! and I left her place at 12:30 am. It was a gorgeous night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other article I knit for the book used Malabrigo Arroyo in the colorway Azules.
