It is the Ballet Camisole from the now defunct Magknits, knit in perfectly good Jo Sharp Desert Garden Aran Cotton. I really didn't enjoy this knit even whilst I was doing it. There were endless rows of stockingette and the yarn wasn't behaving very well. When it was finished (ie after I conned Sam into doing the crochet edgings) it didn't fit well and was just wrong. The fabric didn't work and the thing grew about seventeen sizes in the wash.
Today I bit the bullet.....
There were sacrifices......
The top just couldn't be saved. Okay someone with patience might have saved it, but for me it was a goner.
But......
I did save a touch over 300g of usable yarn. Now I am not sure what I will do with said yarn (and might I add if someone had use for it I could be persuaded to send it on to you) but I feel liberated now that is back in balls and I am free of the pink horror.
Sometimes my friends, you just have to admit that it didn't work.
Ahh...I'm sure you feel much better! :) Washcloths? Lots of washcloths?
ReplyDeleteRIP Ballet. I have about the same amount here of the same yarn and presumably the same dyelot.. hmmm
