“ Come Ply With We” Not Quite Enough Yarn, May 2024

Welcome to the “Not Quite Enough Yarn” Podcast.

My name is Lesley. This is the story of my attempt at working my way through the stash, but without enough of each single colour to make a sweater.

Thanks so much for watching. Please feel free to add any thoughts, queries or questions to the comments box below.

The “Modification MAL” will run until Sept 2024
Works in progress allowed if started no earlier than Christmas Eve (24th December) 2023.

Prizes will be drawn quarterly from posts on this thread. Each quarter there will be a physical prize (probably yarn), from a post with a picture, and a pattern prize (up to US$15) for a post without a picture.
At the beginning of October a grand prize will be drawn – the winning entry must be a picture of a Finished Object.

Please be a subscriber to the Podcast:    / @notquiteenoughyarn  
To be eligible to win a prize.

Prizes will be announced on the podcast and must be claimed by the 25th of the following month.

What crafts are involved?
All types of knitting or crochet.
All project types are eligible.

What counts as modification?

• Pattern creation – if you design your own patterns, please feel free to include them here.

• Change of structure/dimensions – eg, making something shorter, longer, wider etc.

• Change in construction – eg adding a different heel type, working a pattern in the round when it was written for flat, changing the neckline, making a sweater into a cardigan, adding shaping or darts, etc.

• Including patterns which change gauge – eg cables or colourwork, where modifications are needed to keep the garment size the same.

Good luck and please get in contact if there are any queries.
