I just don't like it. It's hard to crochet with and only a little easier to knit with. Worse of all for me it doesn't show off the stitches. I like stitches, I'm all about the stitches. I love small delicate stitches. I'm in love with crocheted doilies. I'm kind of sick that way.
I have lots of novelty yarn left and I'm about to give it away. But what if I regret it? I did make this lapghan that I do like. It's very soft and my daughter like it as you can see.
Now I wouldn't recommend someone on purpose go out and buy all this yarn even if it's on sale which is how I came in to my novelty yarn and make this lapghan. I'd just say no and suggest you run away , run away fast, unless you really, really like it that is, then I say go for it.
Recently I grabbed a hook and my bin of Novelty yarn.
I tried to make another lapghan. But I could not find the love of the yarn. It just was not there. So it's in grocery bags waiting to head to the thrift store. Really, it's going. Gone!
Thanks for the "warning" about the novelty yarn. I don't know if this will help or if you've ever tried it. I've never used this type of yarn before, but, I did read one time. That to make this yarn easier to use/work with, crochet with a regular yarn along with it, same color obviously.
ReplyDeleteLike I said have no idea. But, it is a pretty yarn and seems it would make nice scarfs and edgings for some clothing items.
