It works

For some pretty benign things, these chairpads seem to put out a lot of drama.  

I was working yesterday, on the second last brown stripe when this happened.  

Half of my brown yarn is running out.  Full skeins should give me four full stripes.  These were used partially skeins and I knew that going in.  But now what?  I was sure I had a plan only I did not remember it.

I dug in the bin in case something there would remind me.  And voila!  

  A third partially used ball.  There is lots here for the last stripe.  

Nicely done world. 

Was this my plan?  I have no idea but it works.
