No one will care if you don't finish them. No one will care if you throw them in the garbage. Just be sure to take your needles out first!<BR/><BR/>Get on to a project you love!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07105838986466534110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615091530338379016.post-27022723623810778632009-02-26T13:54:00.000-06:002009-02-26T13:54:00.000-06:00Thanks, Suna.

My LYS owner was curious about this yarn after I told her about its purchase (purchased in a neighboring city), the comments on Ravelry about this yarn for socks is very grim as well. I do love the colors, though and if they don't live up very well then I am relieved to have only spent $11 on the yarn. (Did I really say "just" $11 for a pair of socks?)I'm Michelle!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12028997990822328382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615091530338379016.post-62464133677954704022009-02-26T13:25:00.000-06:002009-02-26T13:25:00.000-06:00I made a pair of socks from that yarn, and I reall...I made a pair of socks from that yarn, and I really don't think it makes good sock yarn. I think it makes WONDERFUL shawl yarn, because you can knit them with bigger needles (less splitting) and they don't get abraded so much, so they won't pill like my socks have done.<BR/><BR/>My socks are REALLY pretty, though.Suna Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946484740596693009noreply@blogger.com
