I have also pre-emptively ordered more yarn - Two balls each of the two blue colours. There's no way I have enough to finish the 23 remaining rounds, I just don't know how much short I'm going to be. I hope that I have ordered enough and that it arrives before I power through the few balls I have left. I didn't want to wait until I ran out before I ordered more because I am on such a tight schedule.
Due to the cost of the yarn so far I'm going to have to get creative with the remaining colours to complete Sophie. For example, I am now completely out of the light green I was using, but I have almost 2 balls of a darker, olive green. So any green rows from now on will be substituted with olive. It's not ideal - Olive will darken the blanket, but considering the olive will pretty much be close to the edge I think I might be able to get away with it. The flowers on the olive are supposed to be fuchsia, but I need the fuchsia for the zigzags around the edge, so I might pair the olive with some cream. It might lighten the look of the olive at the same time.
I feel like all I'm doing right now is trying to work out how best to use my remaining yarn - It's becoming almost like a game of yarn chicken tetris or something!
I took a photo of Sophie laid out across the bed. Please pardon the unmade look - The sheets are in the laundry today! There is no way I can get all of Sophie in the camera lens now, So I might start laying Sophie out on the floor, and standing on the bed? I'm just not sure there's this much floor space anywhere in the entire flat!
Three days left
