Ignoring all the ends that are currently tied pending weaving in (and the mess everywhere), do I continue with this ? It’s not giving me the happy feels, more of a ‘meh’.
Just by posting this you are most likely in a place where frogging is the way to go. If you are meh then you are also likely tuned into your friend also being meh. I know when I work on a project for a friend who has totally different taste than me but i feel like it’s a “heck ya!” project for them then I dont have the “meh” feeling I would have just seeing it out in the wild or whatever. Does that make sense?
If you think the yarn is a “heck ya!” for your friend then finding a new pattern will be fun. If the yarn is the meh factor then donating it might be the most pleasant way to go.
I think you’re right, I think the yarn is the right yarn, it’s just the project that’s dull. It’s been in timeout for ages so I think frogging is unfortunately the way forward.
I think I’ll start again with what’s left of the yarn (a fair amount!) and see how I like the next project before frogging. At least then I can test the yarn.

That’s what I am going to do as well…I will start with a fresh skein and then if I need more, I will frog what I already did. I refuse to work on projects that I am just not into (ha ha which is why I have a pile of mending…those are tasks, not joyful making!)
My first thought was a clan of sweatered monsters since the pattern repeats. Although, if you fold it in on itself, add a bit of interfacing and a bottom, it would be a great project storage basket.
Oh , I thought you had bought it to make some swants (is that the right word??? And, is it you that makes them, I’m sure it is but I questioning myself now)
You guys must not understand thrift-store shopping here. If you don’t get it right away, it’s gone forever. That’s half the reason I ended up with such a big stash! The good thing is though, you only have to resist temptation once 'cause after that it’s taken out of your hands, literally
Now I’m really curious if it is still there. Just cuz. If you were to under the weather and I was a smidge more of an enabler i’d be chanting “Go and see! Go and see!”
All you craftalong-ers check out the Peek Behind The Curtains Challenge! You don’t need to make something new to join in, you just have to (finally) share the things you’ve made already! WHAT!?

Just wondering if anyone is making a shawl…I have so many in the works and many more I want to do…looking for some company, support, and of course, more things to add to the list!
