OK, so have you ever gotten some yarn that you thought at first was great then decided it was the ugliest stuff you'd ever seen? And you still can't bring yourself to chuck it? This is Trekking XXL in color 143 (orange/red/brown). I'd gotten a bag of Trekking XXL yarn in a kit to make a sweater, except that I had no intention of knitting the sweater. I just wanted all of that sock yarn. So, there were two balls of this hideous stuff inside. At first I thought, "Oh, these will be hilarious when knit up!" Now I'm thinking of letting the cats play with it. In their litterbox.
But, no, I've started knitting it. It's a scarf in the feather-and-fan stitch. I'm holding two strands together and knitting it on US 7 straights. I'll give it to charity when I'm done. After all, it's wool and it's washable. It ought to keep someone warm.
Does it count as charity if you'd never wear the thing in the first place?
