When I finished drawing the ends in with yarn, instead of it flattening out, it looked like a doubled-up yarmulke. She says she loves it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09632532351145714418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096941308394467870.post-8779390332318471992014-02-03T09:11:52.057-06:002014-02-03T09:11:52.057-06:00Thank you, Brave Souls, for sharing!

At least we know there are at least three other crocheters who've experienced projects gone wrong. :) Maybe some more brave souls will join in and 'fess up!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013209089610289194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096941308394467870.post-12765730163703224922014-02-03T08:59:26.278-06:002014-02-03T08:59:26.278-06:00The first sweater I ever made turned out to have a...The first sweater I ever made turned out to have arms that covered the tips of my fingers. It had bell sleeves, so I couldn't roll them up, so I kind of looked like a kid playing dress-up when I wore it.<br /><br />I also had the hardest time figuring out the ends of rows when I was first learning. I can't count how many scarves and afghans that ended up with angled ends. I'd start out with 100 stitches and after a few rows, I'd suddenly have 92. I did get to be very good at unraveling and winding up large balls of yarn. lolAnne Baleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161971603907962120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096941308394467870.post-63705844193149895582014-02-03T08:50:48.966-06:002014-02-03T08:50:48.966-06:00I have hats come out too big and too small due to ...I have hats come out too big and too small due to not being able to get the recommended yarn and not knowing what I was doing. I also made a long crochet sweater that looked beautiful in the picture but it wasn't the same when I tried it on myself. I wore it once and thought I would alter it but instead gave it to a friend. I am too much of a coward to ask her if she unpicked it, I know I haven't seen her wearing it!<br />Guess it happens to us all at one time or another. At least I hope we aren't the only two.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272011621886845281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096941308394467870.post-74721017050751147182014-02-03T08:48:46.031-06:002014-02-03T08:48:46.031-06:00I almost attempted that shrug but decided not to. ...I almost attempted that shrug but decided not to. Glad I didn't! I have made them for my granddaughter without a pattern that looks prettier than theirs. Like you, I don't want to bother with a bunch of pieces. I've done one and it wasn't really very hard but a lot more work. <br /><br />Take a look at mine and see what you think. There are details on how I did it. If something isn't clear, feel free to ask. <br /><br />http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Dixiegirl56/sarahs-shrug<br /><br />I don't think the confetti is too much, I think different yarns will give you a different look. This might just be a fun sweater and something in different colors might be dressy and elegant. <br /><br />You're braver than I. Don't think I could post my disasters. Well, I couldn't... I unravel them and make something else. LOLCynthia I Maddoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172830171634694240noreply@blogger.com
