Ugliest Yarn Ever

Every day we all make bad choices, but some choices are almost unforgivable. Case in point I have been going through my stash to catalogue it on Ravelry. I am proud of myself, I have dutifully been photographing and adding yarn as I find time. I have been through about 60% of my yarn and today was a difficult day of sorting. I dug out the blue Rubbermaid container of poor made purchases that I keep under my bed. These yarns of unnatural fibers I have accumulated through sale bins from questionable places.

Some are so ugly I think I should have been paid to take them off the hands of the retail outlets I procured them from . What will I ever do with these garish mistakes? The Bling Bling by Bernat is so hideous that I think nothing is worse, but then I found the Cha Cha by Patons. This acrylic monstrosity is so bad, I think it is like a nasty seventies shag carpet rolled up and put in a skein of yarn. My shame is great for owning something so amazingly ugly. Whatever will I do with it?

Tangled Yarn

I hate bad yarn days more than I hate bad hair days. And trust me I hate bad hair days. So today was not the best yarn day. I had my second toe-up sock class tonight. I was excited, all ready to knit in the comfort of the Georgia's beautiful little shop, Hearthstone Knits http://hearthstoneyarns.com/ with the other eager knitters. So I did not feel the love from my knitting when I was the last knitter to get to the heel turn. Then the heel had one too many stitches. The stitch is just hanging out there waiting to be saved or salvaged or picked up or something like that one of my very talented knitting friends tried to explain to me. In the end I still don't think I got how I am suppose to be fixing the problem. And here it is 2 in the morning and I am still thinking of how I screwed up my sock. Rats, I hate being the mediocre knitter in the room.
