Some projects don\u2019t work out. There\u2019s some yarn that I have that was from a friend\u2019s family that looked lovely. There were two colors of the yarn, both boucle: a cone of black and a royal purple. The purple I unwound from an unfinished project of that my friend never finished. The yarn is lovely, soft and fun, and I thought that would be an attractive yarn to use for a set.<\/p>\n<p>We fought. After finishing the hat and working up about six rows or so of the scarf, I threw in the towel because I was tired of fighting the yarn. I took the finished hat, balls of the purple that I had unwound from my friend\u2019s project and put them in a bag for donations along with the large cone of the black.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1330\" src=\"http:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Notformeboucle-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Notformeboucle-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Notformeboucle.jpg 541w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Life\u2019s too short to work with yarn you don\u2019t like. I\u2019ve been getting rid of things in my house that take up space. I have been reading about minimalism lately and though it\u2019s not for me, I can identify things that I want to get rid of &#8211; the boucle yarn was it. Actually, I doubt that creative people can really be minimalists. Though I did like having the yarn knowing that my friend had used it or bought it to use for projects and had even started on something, it was a struggle. I have other things to remember my fried by and this yarn does not give me fond memories, so I am letting it go so that someone else may enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Happy crocheting!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s ok to give up on a project.
