More often than not, there’s usually a reason why yarn is on sale. I picked up this skein of Tofutsies sock yarn at half price, thinking that it was a great excuse to crochet myself a pair of socks (I have no patience to knit socks as of yet, but that’s another story). When I tried it out, however, I quickly learned that yarn that is really too variegated and crochet socks do not make good friends. I was ending up with something that looked more like a dirty gerbil than a sock.
So I decided to make a Wisp (on Ravelry here), and after I finished blocking it, it got folded up and put in my closet for three months. I keep bringing it out and taking it places with me, thinking that I might wear it… but I never do.
Maybe it’s the color of the yarn, or maybe it’s the material. Because it’s soysilk, it just tends to flop and not have much structure. Or maybe I just need to stop being so critical and give it a little love.
We’ll see.
