Sometimes I find something I want to knit and it absolutely has to be this specific pattern and that specific yarn. Forget the fact that the pattern has not come out yet. It has to be this way and there's no convincing me otherwise. Often this means that yarn is completely wrong for the pattern. It doesn't have enough yardage, the verigation pools in unappealing ways, the pattern is complete chaos, etc.

So far that does not seem to be the case. But then I've only been working on these socks for a day. There's still plenty of time for user error.

There are patterns that I desperately want to knit, but I don't have the perfect yarn (that may or may not actually exist) and therefore I am grumpy - so I kinda get where you're coming from ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of that yarn, it looks really cool
So far, so good. I like the pooling you've got so far; it looks like swirls of fruit flavoured sherbet!
ReplyDeleteOh I like that colorway! I reminds me of raspberry cheesecake.
