Today boys and girls we are going to learn about dye lot.
Why? You may ask......
Because your teacher (me) decided there was plenty left on the 2nd skein to do "Just one last row", and, "Of course there is plenty to bind off with!" Wrong!
So today, we will be taking a(n unplanned) field trip to go and buy a (hopefully matching) skein of Bernat Boa Parrot to finish J.'s scarf with.
See? Lesson learned the hard (and inconvenient) way!
Let's hope Joann's stocks it because there is a house to vaccuum, and holiday wrapping to be done on this shortened school day.
So hands to yourself and load up the bus quickly and quietly!
It's Field Trip day!

I've done that so many times...hoping the yarn in that dye lot will be there. Sort of a Murphy's Law thing.
Hope you can get what you need!
Frustrating to run out of yarn, gf. I sure know. A number of years back I knit DH an aran sweater, tons of cables, ran out of Rowan cotton glace not once, not twice, but three times. And no, they didn't have the same dye lot, but I managed to match it close enough each time. The shop owner let me take all the yarn of that color outside with my incomplete sweater pieces to match the color in the sun. Egads! LOL Finally made it. He still wears (loves, and gets complements on) that sweater.
Hang tough. It'll work out just fine. You'll see. ;-)
Oh yay! A field trip! LOL I have been where you are many times. I really hope you get your matching skein.
