I kissed a frog...

Well my first official frog of a half done project....

I was knitting with a fun dyed yarn and it was a pretty shade of cream, pink and tan.  The first skein was very pale.  The second skein was noticeably darker.  I thought it would be okay.  Finished the second skein and wow - huge dark line from one to the other.  I thought hard and couldn't live with it.

Agree?




The stripe on the back looked so very noticeable.  Two skeins are darker and the third, which i started from, is very light. They all say the same dye lot number unfortunately.  It is a huge bummer.  If I had started with the two dark I might have not frogged it because the light would have been the ribbed collar.  I think i will turn the yarn into a cowl for someone for Xmas.

I think this yarn has to go in the time-out bin.

Bad yarn!
