A Good Yarn / Re: Or give up
« on: April 09, 2024, 22:32:24 PM »
I love crochet, but having done lots of scarves etc. i decided to do a cardi. I did a dry run with cheap yarn, it was a bit big but basically OK, so 18 months ago I got some lovely wool from West Yorkshire Spinners and oh my goodness I have struggled! I simply cannot get the size right and I don't have a clue where I am going wrong! It is taking ages because I have to keep checking it, unravelling etc. I also have to go off and do some simple crochet (shopping bags this time).
I am almost there - I couldn't possibly give up having spent so much on the yarn - and it is a joy to work with. But I am never, ever, making a garment again.
I've just chosen some more yarn from WYS for a holday project - a large pashmina-style shawl.
Thank you all for your experiences - it makes me feel a bit better!
