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:
On a scale of 1 to 10, just how nervous was I that I’d run out before I even finished the scarf?! 
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.

oh my, that was close!!
weighing and calculations???!!! umm.. no. by-the-seat-of-your-pants knitting is by far the more exciting way to do it..
Eeeeeeeeek. That’s anxiety in a nutshell, right there.
Me too this weekend, only had *just enough* to finish a first glove, so know I KNOW I have skin of teeth knitting for the second one, and can prepare myself for it (chocolate, of course).
