The colour of baby...

... poop!

One Skein Scarf

The general idea and construction of this scarf is good (I know a couple of things I'll change if I ever do this again). The yarn is not the worst kind of yarn either. The colour though... Eeeeewwwwww!

I managed to hook my way through one and a half skein of this. I do not know one person who would look good in this colour. I'm thinking a statue would look ok in it though (a nice contrast to their often greenish brown bronze colour) so it goes into my pile of By:garn knit tagging stuff.

If you cannot see the horridness of this colour it's probably the pink border around the picture tiles that throws it all off. You can click your way on to my flickr to see it without the pink. If you still think you'd love this colour please let me know and I'll send you the remaining yarn if you like.

We used to have carpet that color back in 1979. ;-) The pattern is pretty though--and I'm jealous of your snow!

I think that color can give an interesting spark to other colors when it's a small part of a project. But, as a stand-alone? Not so much...
