If it can't be rescued for its original purpose, perhaps you could cut off the embroidered section and stitch it to the back yoke of a shirt--white or otherwise.

#SMYK #ShowMeYourKnits ##knitsky
Knitting horror stories. Mine's not that scary and is a little funny. After working on this complicated pattern, it was evident the hat was just too small. Swatching is no longer avoided. The yarn became part of a nice blue and black shawl after unraveling.

View from above of a person in a tie-dyed tshirt with an incomplete lovely blue lace knit hat jammed on their head.

Side view of person wearing an incomplete blue knit hat that's about 4 sizes too small.

Today I found a knitting project that I thought was gone for good 6 weeks ago. Safe places aren't really safe.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one who remembered.

I need to learn it, too, but all the instructions I've seen are for 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing. I have 1x3 rib on my socks.

You Icelanders and your licorice!

I got a kit with Hitofude and yakety yak. Were the instructions easy to follow? I'm looking forward to working on it in a couple of months.

At one job, we used to joke every time a new phone list came out,"make sure your name is on it!"
