The current batch of sets features two poor choices. I purchased both yarns online from different companies. I’ve used both yarns before and thought the colors would be ok for sets. Generally, I try to use darker colors or grays so the recipients won’t have to worry about the items getting dirty since they may not have access to laundry facilities.<\/p>\n
The first set, the yarn seemed a darker and the more prominent grey and I thought that it would be suitable. The hat was ok but lighter<\/span> than I anticipated, thought manageable. However when it came time for the scarf, the pattern I chose highlighted more of the white. Love the yarn, Premier Puzzle but won’t buy the color again. [Colorway – Jacks.]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These two experiences makes me think of a song on a kid’s show I watched growing up – \u201coops I made a mistake that’s all and making mistakes is never fun… It’s part of growing up.\u201d I’ll chalk these up to learning experiences. Though the scarf that I made in Puzzle is a pattern that I will use again because I’m a big fan of Puzzle and have quite a bit in my working stash. It’s great – machine wash and dry and soft. These learning experiences weren’t bad and even though the colors are lighter than I anticipated, someone may still use them to keep warm.<\/p>\n Keep moving forward!<\/p>\n Happy crocheting!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The current batch of sets features two poor choices.

Another set… The yarn was pink and blues. Again, the pink gradient seemed darker online and I made a mistake. I wanted to try all of the colors in Lion Brand’s Mandala Ombre. The light pink is very light and almost white in some places. Again, I like the yarn but I will steer away from that colorway – Pure.<\/p>\n
