Henley
April 2006 - September 2006
The final straw
Same shade, different dye lot. I had to re-check the shade numbers, as these are so different in colour. Henley was one ball short of being finished, but frankly I couldn't be bothered to hunt around for a more dyelot that was closer to the mine, so the whole thing was frogged. One more thing off the needles.
Leapin' Lizard
I've been trying to avoid looking at the Noro stash, it would be too tempting to look and not start the LL blanket. However someone at work has asked me to knit (for the office teapot) a teacosy. They don't want a traditional teacosy, which is placed over the whole teapot to keep the tea warm. They want one which looks just like the Kureyon Cozy! Which meant getting out the kureyon yarn. Fait accompli.
Good job the Henley's frogged. It leaves space for a Leapin' Lizard this weekend.
Sorry to see the demise of Henley - all that kntting - couldn't you have converted it into a cushion or something? (A tea-cosy?) Haven't you done the Kureyon one before......

When a good project turns bad frogging is just the right thing to do. I reckon my completion:frogged ratio is about 2:1. Do I feel guilty? Nope!
Are you going to turn the yarn into something else?

I agree with Mandella - get it off the needles! I think the Kureyon cozy might be just the thing for my craft stall (am I beginning to sound obsessed?)

Good for you. No need to keep stuff going that isn't working for you. Brava!

How fateful! Good job noro kureyon is so interesting to knit with since your 2 new projects involves both!

Such a shame when so close to the end! (it happened to me before and I too couldn't be bothered to hunt for the right dye lot) Never mind, it wasn't meant to be...
Looking forward to the beginning of your blanket, what a great way to use your stash!

Sorry about your henley. Sometimes projects are just not meant to be. That is a great Noro stash you have there! It would be perfect for LL.
