On Vox: Bamboozle top!

View avanta7’s Blog

As I've mentioned before, when I first bought the yarn, I was unsure about the color. It seemed much more orange in person than in the LYS catalog. However, as this project proceeded, the color grew on me and became more and more beautiful. The yarn itself is splitty as hell, and nearly drove me insane in the beginning. Again, however, as I knitted along, I became accustomed to its idiosyncrasy and learned to like it for the gorgeous stitch definition and springy-ness.I still love the color and like the yarn. I’m not so crazy about the top itself. In fact, I’m considering frogging it. The yarn was too costly to let this FO sit here, unworn.

Sorry you're not entirely happy with it. I think it's gorgeous. You are really talented!

Thank you. *beam*

I think it's lovely, too. I just wish it fit. But it's my own fault for not checking and re-checking the length as I went along.

I still have three skeins of the yarn left, untouched. I may frog it and start over, making the proper adjustments this time. We'll see. There are Christmas presents yet to be made.
