By the skin of my teeth

This is how much yarn I have left over from two 100g balls of Rowan Pure Wool Aran, after completing the Skull Illusion Scarf for my sister today:

Leftovers

On a scale of 1 to 10, just how nervous was I that I’d run out before I even finished the scarf?! :-D Fortunately, I had just enough to finish and make a nice fringe on either end. Of course, if I was a more sensible knitter, I’d have knit one pattern repeat, weighed it and worked out from that just how many repeats I could do. But that’s far too organised. I’m more into Extreme Knitting, where there’s the risk of running out of yarn and the thrill when I just make it. :-D
