My "Roses for Margaery" Sock Sadness... Running Out of Yarn While Knitting

Has this ever happened to you?  It's a first for me.  Normally, my overly compulsive urge to hoard gorgeous yarn kicks in when I'm at the counter of my local yarn shop and I buy an extra ball or skein.  Guess what I didn't do this time.  Grrrrr. 
I suppose the good thing about this is the fact that I'm knitting.  I got a little carried away for a while with the natural dyeing.  That's on hold until I recover from a massive sunburn.  Ugh.  The dangers of foraging. 

And spinning!  I'm hooked!  Ever tried drop spindling?  Very fun.  You can take it on the go.  Love drop spinning.  But right now I'm using my LeClerc wheel. 
Loving the colours!  I bought this 4oz bag of roving from a Canadian Etsy shop owner Zenitude.  She vacuum seals the roving so it really cuts down on shipping costs.  When you open the bag, the fiber puffs right up!  This is the above spinning, called "Summer Days."  Groovy!
So what are you spinning or knitting?
