I made a hat for my friend L. I was so proud of how it turned out, and she loved it. I set out to make another and tried a larger hook. Bzzzzt. It's way too big! *sigh* I'm moving back to a smaller hook and will try it again. I wasn't as thrilled with the colorway (Sugar 'n Cream Twists: Cottage) anyway... so I'll start again with Twists: Lava Lamp. I love the Twists, I want to do something with every one.
I also started a shrug for myself out of some acrylic I got on sale... it's nice and soft (yes, I'm fine with non-natural fibers, provided they feel good, wear well, and clean nicely). If the pattern works as I've altered it, I'll try it again with nicer yarn. The pattern calls for Bernat Bamboo, which is my latest Object of Lust, so I might give that a whirl.
So disappointed about the hat!! *sigh* I won't frog it, I'll find someone it fits... but it still gripes me.
