So then I unravel them, especially if I like the yarn. If I don\u2019t like the yarn, I will take it and then ditch the whole project, generally in the donation bag. Someone else may like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Scepterofpower.jpg?fit=640%2C506\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-656\" width=\"297\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Scepterofpower.jpg 3713w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Scepterofpower-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Scepterofpower-768x607.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Scepterofpower-1024x809.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/><figcaption>My scepter of power &#8211; the nostepinne<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my quest to work on cables or a variety of different designs for scarves, I tried working on a scarf that I with a variety of post stitches other than basketweave. When I started this, it seemed as though it would work well, but it didn\u2019t quite work the way that I wanted it to. After an entire skein, in a color that I immediately loved, but probably wouldn\u2019t buy because I received it in a mystery bag that I purchased from Premier yarns. One skein in I didn\u2019t like how the scarf was curling in on itself. I used my scepter of power &#8211; my nostepinne and deftly unwound the third of the scarf that I\u2019d made so that it is ready to add to the scarf that I started with the yarn &#8211; in basketweave. Same hook, same yarn, different stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Firstandsecondscarves.jpg?fit=640%2C480\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-657\" width=\"471\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Firstandsecondscarves.jpg 1040w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Firstandsecondscarves-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Firstandsecondscarves-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Firstandsecondscarves-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><figcaption>Unraveled the one on the right, <br>moving forward with the one on the left<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every yarn is right for every project. I use this same yarn to make little red hats and when doing that, I want a more tightly woven hat and use an I hook, for this scarf, I was using a J &#8211; a full two sizes up and I like the outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Veloxhat-4.jpg?fit=640%2C882\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-662\" width=\"212\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Veloxhat-4.jpg 953w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Veloxhat-4-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Veloxhat-4-768x1058.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Veloxhat-4-743x1024.jpg 743w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><figcaption>Most recent hat <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the yarn just makes it into what it wants to be. Today, I made a hat using the same pattern that I have used before and it turned out to be a preemie-ish hat. The circumference is 12 inches instead of 13. I don\u2019t actively make preemie hats since I found that there isn\u2019t as much of a need for them. I made a hat using the same pattern a few weeks ago and the hat came out a little wider. There are times when I believe that yarn has a mind of its own, has a creative voice and decides what it wants to be in some cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe it\u2019s not just a fallacy that someone needs to find the right yarn for a pattern or the right pattern for a specific yarn. Yarns speak, we must listen and make what the yarn wants to become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Happy crocheting!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yarns speak, we must listen and make what the yarn wants to become.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":664,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":665,"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655\/revisions\/665"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
