What do you think?

Hubby gave me a bunch of yarn, including a gorgeous skein of Koigu kpppm.  I found a couple of free one-skein patterns, and I'm torn on which to try:





On one hand, I have everything I need to make the beret.  On the other, the bag is really adorable.  And on a third (o.O) it's a toss-up as to if I'd ever actually use either.

Hmmmmm.

I know; it's a fantastic pattern. Unfortunately, there was some wackiness with getting the correct yarn in an appropriate color (did not look at all like the photograph, then was the wrong yarn altogether in a more correct version of the dye....), so I haven't ever done anything with it.

I have to confess I cannot think of a single patterns have ever done that was in the suggested yarn or colorwaysp, and oftentimes not even in the suggested weight... So that would be no obstacle for me.

Then again, I have had some true catastrophes come off my needles, so you may well be the wise one here... Hmm...

Yeah; I was worried about the beading. The yarn that they sent was lovely, but the weight was wrong for the bead size, and getting larger beads would have looked silly, etc.

I'm sorry it didn't work out. =( It is lovely!
