I'll be honest about this though, taking pictures of mistakes is boring and annoying and that is surely a barrier to posting.
I had grand plans for how these would turn out. I pictured something that looked a little inside-out, deconstructed, disdressed to go with the soft, nubbiness of this gorgeous yarn.
Yuck. These are just not what I was picturing.
My knitting usually turns out pretty well from patterns, but when I try to go my own with a design, it just doesn't work yet. These will be promptly frogged but I'm not sure what they will turn into yet. Because of the price I only have two 70 yard skeins.
This one probably has more hope, but since I really don't like summer clothes, my enthusiasm for finishing this is waning. I used this tutorial, and I love the ribbon I made from the fabric, but other than that, I'm not so crazy about the fabric. I tried to double layer it since it's so sheer, and then silly me, put the under-layer seams on the wrong side. Then the armhole is funny. And now it's getting funnier when I try fix the seams. Avalanche here.
Blah. I think what this means is that unless I'm going to love the finished product enough to work through the flaws, don't even bother. I think I just wanted to try this tutorial and grabbed whatever fabric I've had on hand forever.
