Cherry:

Aaaaiiyy.

Some knitters are still running low on yarn. I am SO sorry about this - I don't understand why my amounts were so far off, the one I made definitely used less than 5 balls: I am looking at the unused sixth ball as I write this!

So, I'll be updating the pattern and increasing the yarn amounts again. In the meantime, if you can, please buy extra yarn or ask your LYS if they will keep a ball or two on hold for you in case you need them.

Apologies again. I know exactly how annoying it is to run out of yarn on a project. Henceforth I will be more generous with my estimated requirements - much less annoying to have too much yarn than too little.
