modf Totally my own damn fault. I've been knitting along on the little white smock cardigan ("little red smock" from Sublime's Luxuriously Exotic Soya Cotton book). I completed the back and fronts.
I need yarn to start the sleeves so that means it's time to unravel the denim pinafore I'd originally started with this yarn. I frog. I wind. I soak. I hang 'em up to dry.
And then I take a closer look.
Aaaaaack! What's that brown crap on my white yarn?! Okay, I guess my lazy and hasty decision to use some scrap pink yarn to tie the skeins together was a bad one. Doh, doh, dope! Thank goodness my lys still had the ecru denim yarn in the same dyelot. Phew! Still, my own damn fault. posted by alison at 3:21 pm | in

What a bummer! Maybe you could still save it for a cool dye project? Posted by: Minneapolismama at April 23, 2008 3:32 PMI'd have used it anyway and called it a "design feature." But I'm lazy that way. Glad you found more of the yarn! Posted by: Suzanne V. (Yarnhog) at April 23, 2008 4:56 PMRats! Honestly? I thought you were going to say that the process shrank the denim yarn and now things wouldn't all shrink together at the same rate or some such. Glad you were saved. Posted by: Robby at April 23, 2008 5:47 PMI thought you were going to say that you had to cut out all the brown spots & weren't sure you had enough clean yarn for the sleeves &, even if you did, would have a million ends to weave in. Lucky that you were able to get more & the same dyelot - you've used up your luck for at least the next month!
