Looking for a cetain yarn

[neleha]

Hello, I am very new to this site/blog and am in need of some help. Let me start by saying that I love to crochet and have been for about 28 years. I started a panel aphghan about 21 years ago and stopped the project because the colors that were used in the pattern just wasnt my taste and at that time couldnt make up my mind what colors I did want and it being on of my first large projects I just sat it aside. I recently picked it back up and made a color choice only to find that I didnt purchase enough of one of the colors to complete the project. I am using a Hobby Lobby brand yarn, "I Love This Yarn" and yes I really love it. It is soft and very pliable and I just love the colors they offer. OK, here is my dilemna.....I went ot purchase another skien of the color #782/Real Blue (it actually looks purple) and YEP ! they discontinued it. I looked on their website with no luck so I thought I would ask the best people to ask....DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND JUST ONE MORE OR 3/4 OF A SKEIN to finish this 20+ year project? Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what I can do. I really, really want to complete this aphgan...It is going to be absolutely gorgeous if I do. I will take a photo of the aphghan as it is on the pattern booklet and you will agree it is beautiful ! ! ! Thanx so much for all your help. and I am glad to become a part of this community.

I may not have the yarn you are looking for, but I sure would love to see a picture of the afghan that you are making. What pattern are you using?
