Mini Mochi displeases me...

[crafty_packrat]

I'm knitting the Jasmine mitts with Crystal Palace Mini-Mochi (color 101, Intense Rainbow), and since I'm 2/3rds of the way done with the second mitt I find a knot in the yarn.

A knot tying orange to *green*.

Needless to say, *that* will ruin the color progression like a ruin-y thing.

I might be able to salvage things by frogging the mitt completely, turning the yarn around, and knitting it in the other directions, because I cast on at greenish blue.

But this does disrupt my plans to make the niece socks out of Crash Into Ewe's Jewel sock yarn (in Pink Tourmaline). Admittedly, she does wear almost the exact size of shoe I do, so I can finish up the Simplicity Socks and have them ready to give if I can't get the pink socks done in time

Ha! Malabrigo is pretty GQMF. I got a gorgeous hank of Kureyon Sock and it just, WTF. The color progression is so odd. The first sock is basically this horrible peach color, which would have been fine if it was, like, mixed with other colors. But no, half a sock was like that.

I've since frogged the whole mess since knitting it on 1s was killing my hands, but on 2s I wouldn't trust it to hold. Alas. I might make mitts or something out of it, the pattern I'm contemplating is knit on 3s. Should be nice.

I have tried so many projects with Silk Garden Sock and none of them have left me impressed. I tried the Jaywalker socks and they were too tight and a good third of the sock was yellow, just yellow. I tried Endpaper Mitts but couldn't get gauge. I think I'm just going to do a chevron scarf and be done with it. I like my Noro Striped Scarf and I guess it set me up for disappointment with other projects done with Noro.

I hope you don't mind if I add you. You know what GQMF means and reading your userinfo makes me think I'm reading my own journal (slashfic, yarn, and librarianship, holla!)

*grin* No, it sounds fun. Good times!
