Yep I ran out of yarn. I called the store and no there was not any more and no real way way of getting another hank. So I stood there looking at it on the floor thinking. I only needed a few yards more. Well I was thinking about my triangle shawls and how one bunches up at the neck and how another doesn't stay on my shoulders. They needed a notch! Eureka!! I undid the cast on and unraveled it a few rows.
(I had to undo a little more then the picture shows)
When I finished the border I went back to the neck stitches and using a crochet hook finished the neck. Off to blocking it went.
It so worked!! I am very happy with the results. So much so I almost kept it. = )
(I took these pictures late at night, so just look at the shawl ok?)
stays on with no problem.
Here is what was left. Not even a foot.

What a good idea! I never like the way shawls fit around the neck either. Someday, when I am feeling brave, I will have to try this.
Well, they do say that necessity is the mother of invention. (It's probably the source of a few forms of alcoholism, but they don't say that as often....)
Okay, I am really, really impressed. That was such a neat way to solve two problems at once! And the shawl is beautiful.
Well done! Looks great. I've been dying to try some Lobster Pot yarn...where did you get it? (just curious)
So pretty! You did a wonderful job - and very creative finishing too! =)
