Girls, I purchased a 320-yd skein of fingering weight alpaca (hand-dyed muted aqua and taupe tones, gorgeous!) at a fiber festival last weekend, thinking it would be enough to make a nice shawlette/triangular scarf. When I got home and scouted around for patterns, I found that most of them call for more like 460 yds. *sigh* Does anyone have a nice pattern that would only take the 360 yds I have? For this yarn, I'd rather not have to introduce a contrast to make up the difference. |

I love Ravelry! I haven't done a search with yardage as the main search feature, so Ill try that. Meanwhile, a woman in my knitting circle has a pattern that will work perfectly. It's a little more advanced than I'm used to, but I need to learn a few more tricks! Thanks so much for your suggestion :) |

Do you belong to ravelry.com? in their pattern search area you can include the yardage you have. I've gotten some wonderful free patterns from there. Sounds like some gorgeous yarn you have.
