Row 64 almost finished - ran out of black yarn and also don’t have enough white to finish either. A third ball of each colour has been ordered so I should hopefully be able to get back to knitting in a few days but could be a little longer depending on how long the yarn takes to arrive. Sad :( Unsure now if I will be able to finish by the KAL deadlines.

Ran out of yarn on row 12. So frustrating! A new ball has been ordered but it will be a few days. I think it is unlikely I will finish in time for the #hapsarehappeningkal on Monday. I was so close! >:(
