Poor clapotis

I started knitting my clapotis last August. When I finished one ball I got bored and put in away until after Christmas knitting was complete. At the start of this year I knitted another ball and put it away again for a while. Last week I took it out again with the aim of completing it and using the last ball up. So there I was, merrily knitting away, until it dawned on me that I had 92 rows to knit and the yarn was decreasing quite rapidly... 5 decrease repeats and the last 1 rows left to knit and the yarn runs out :(

Seems the clapotis doesn't want to be finished. Thankfully, Ravelry has helped me source a knitted who is selling my colourway... so I bought 2 balls to only really use one. bit of an odd way to use yarn up, lol

Oh no!!! Thank goodness disaster has been averted though! Good old Raverly, what did we do without it! :) I loved knitting my Clapotis. I used King Cole Mirage, which is lovely but tends to stick to itself a bit. I ended up having to pull all the dropped stitches apart with a crochet hook. Very trying.
