I finally finished the knitted scarf I made from the Woodland Capelet yarn.
I ripped out the Woodland Capelet and decided to just make a scarf. I was not enjoying making the Woodland Capelet.
There was one yarn that was super fuzzy. The strands were not uniform and I had a hard time seeing the stitches. It really made this scarf (and the Woodland Capelet) unpleasant to knit.
I was going to put the scarf in the donation box, but Mom said that one of the ladies her church helps would like it, so I gave it to her.
After my last kit project, I am going to stick to scarves. I enjoy making scarves and don’t need challenging knitting projects when I have challenging quilt projects. I need relaxing knitting projects.
It is, at least, another project off my to do list.
I’m with you…knit to relax.
Thanks! I am glad I am not alone.
Fuzzy yarn drives me up a wall — if I can’t figure out the stitches, I can’t read my (many!) mistakes, and I’m constantly putting the needle through the yarn instead of through the stitch. I don’t mind something a little more challenging in theory, but there needs to be stitch definition there so I can figure out when I’m doing when I inevitably screw it up.
You described my problem perfectly! This was the first time I used that type of yarn (part of a kit) and I really disliked it. That was the reason I stopped making the Woodland Capelet and just made a scarf. I also need stitch definition.
