Way back in the annals of time… well it feels like that, even though it was only October 2012. I featured this little number.
Caplet experiment – A disaster!
It was an experiment.
The idea was good.
Now I know a bad workman/woman blames their tools, but this time the yarn was atrocious. It was only as I was working that I discovered it was a ball made of bits of yarn! I didn’t bring it back to the shop, since I bought it from a bargain lot and had it in my yarn stash for a long time. I decided to use it up and see if I could manage a garment with it.
The yarn was too thick and almost impossible to hide the ends no matter how I tried to work them in. Nevertheless, I managed to make the garment above. It was a disaster. So I binned it!
In July, the same year, I featured another idea I worked from my head.
Knitted tunic in the round
This time the knitted tunic was finished, but not the success I hoped it to be. The yarn and the stitch were not so compatible. My tunic grew dropped by the hour. Before it grew long enough to trip me up, I cast it aside. Eventually, I decided to unpick the garment and re-use the yarn.
Thus the reflection you saw in my back door the other day.
Reflection
With the positive reaction to the pink cardie, I decided to focus on it in this post.
How better to do that, than with a video.
This video lasts about 15 minutes, I hope you find it helpful.
