Okay this post comes with a health warning, about bad yarn. I probably only have myself to blame. I don’t follow crochet patterns very well: choosing to see them more as guidelines or sources of inspiration rather than something which must be crocheted to the letter. I don’t read about which yarns are best for this, and which yarns are best for that. I choose my yarn by its colour, by its texture and by how I think it will looked crocheted. Sometimes I am caught out. This was one of those occasions! I bought this…
Loved the colour. Loved the texture. Thought wow, that would make great flowers. How wrong was I? I sat in the garden, out in the sunshine, cup of tea in hand, Monty (next- doors cat) at my feet, ready for a happy afternoon of crocheting. Things didn’t turn out that way. Oh no. This is simply some of the worst yarn I have ever crocheted. Anything more than a double crochet is impossible. Don’t even think about taking your crochet back – it simple won’t happen. After an hour of frustrating crochet, I had produced a tangle…
Okay they are flower shaped tangles. But they are still more tangle than flower and I am just not happy with them. The yarn had/has so much potential…
If anyone has any thoughts or ideas about how to use this yarn, please, let me know. Otherwise this is one yarn that will make its way to the charity shop. One person’s trash…
NB – the guilt yarn is Persia by Sirdar – you have been warned!
