This is a very deep red (I know it doesn't look like it!) in Lion Brand's Wool-Ease. I bought this on a very good sale ($0.99 per skein, or something like that.) I have around 10 skeins worth. It has been knitted into several different projects, of which none have turned out as planned. This yarn is still in my stash, as I just feel that I can't let it get the better of me. Surprisingly, it still looks knittable, after all the frogging. I've tried Mariah, from Knitty.com when I either knit the decreases wrong, or there was a pattern error, as the hood extended straight up from the shoulder, instead of having a neck. Then, I tried Festive, from Knitty.com. I didn't get this finished, when I realized my gauge was off & it would not fit properly. These 2 weren't even the project that I originally had in mind when I purchased the yarn. That one is long gone, even from my memory. It sure is a good thing that I knit more for process than for the finished project, or I'm sure this yarn would have me terribly upset. Currently, I'm planning a basic, raglan long sleeve cardigan for this yarn. I have other sweaters that I love in this style, knit from The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns. I'll probably have way too much yarn, but at least I don't have to worry about running out, right?
