I have knitted up every last scrap of the Gedifra Highland Alpaca.
There is not enough yarn.
When I started the second piece I had doubts. When I finished the first of the two remaining balls of yarn I was convinced there would not be enough, but I talked myself into going a little further before deciding.
For a brief moment I thought there would be enough. Then I fussed and worried and wondered if I had lost control over my gauge again, wondered if I could rip and reknit and possibly just get by. I don't believe so. The two pieces match each other perfectly for size. Today, after unknitting my swatches and knitting them into the sweater, I broke down and ordered the final skein.
Luckily Colorful Stitches is pretty close and UPS tells me the new skein will be here tomorrow.

*sigh* You had that niggling feeling Thursday, and your intuition was correct. At least you’ll be able to finish quickly, given the gauge.
