Well I'm not quite sure yet!!!
The yarn was originally a cardigan that I made a year or two ago. For some strange reason I can't find any pictures of it when it'd been finished. This is weird as I'm pretty good at keeping track of things.
Well I didn't wear the garment more than once or twice. I'm not totally sure why but I know I didn't like it. Here's a picture of the pattern I used and you can see that I've used the same yarn as stated - etc, etc.
It fitted just fine but never felt comfortable so it simply 'had to go'.
Now it would've been easier to send it to a charity shop or recycle place but I'd paid good money for the yarn. It took me hours and hours and hours last week to unravel it all. As it's a fluffy yarn it kept sticking to itself. Nightmare!!!
Here's the result below the pattern!!!!
What a shame you didn't like the pattern, but now you have all that lovely yarn to play with again.
ReplyDeleteI admire your patience, unravelling a fluffy yarn is really not fun! But there's no point in keeping a cardigan you never wear, so it was worth it. And there are so many patterns around, you're bound to find one you'll like more :)
ReplyDeleteSo are you doing the same as you showed us a few weeks ago??
ReplyDeleteBtw... I got that pattern too!! Not made up tho!
Another waistcoat, Pigmini? No. Not that. You’ll see but you’ll have to wait a few more days, though!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the problem is the variegated wool and not the pattern. When I have used variegated thread for tatting, sometimes you lose the pattern, especially if the variegations are intense. I only use subtle variegated thread now.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Bev over the yarn colours but in this case it was more that the cardigan didn’t really ‘sit’ right on the shoulders. With the following waistcoat I used the same technique throughoutt and that sits well. It’s a case of ‘win some, lose another’!!!!!
