I made this little cotton jacket tonight, and it just doesn't work. It works in the sense that its wearable, but I just don't like it, and I'm not sure what would make it work.
I used the same yoke pattern as that from yesterday's sweater, but did an open mesh for the body and sleeves. I think I just don't like it.
When I finished it, I felt like I wasted yarn. Well - live and learn. It's fun to try new things - sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
I really like it. I think it works. But I know what you mean about that feeling you get when you do something and then it just feels like you wasted yarn.
ReplyDeleteI understand your feeling. We've all had that happen. Or when you're working on it, you don't like it so don't finish it. What size is the jacket? Could you add a row or two at the bottom of the not mesh...somehow I think it might have a more finished look to it? I don't dislike it as is, but maybe it just needs a little something. Maybe a crocheted flower of a bright color for decoration? Or a crocheted edge of another color?
ReplyDeleteBeen making more slippers and booties, Wormie and have your Marine Kids in mind for them. Gonna be awhile though before I can enough of something else done to go with it and shipped out to you.
Some I think are larger than what is perhaps appropiate for your newborns.
Have a good one
