I am a knitter in search of a project.

I thought I was going to begin the new year with Dan in some kahki Cotton Club (Ravelry link, the yarn is discontinued). But I can’t make the gauge work out right, even though the yarn’s suggested gauge and the pattern’s gauge are the same.

It has one more chance. Just one.

So.

I either need to come up with another sweater for Michael with this yarn (time is of the essence, we only have about six more weeks of “winter”), or scrap it and make something for either myself or the house.

Like a vest (for me) in this sport weight Blue Sky Alpaca.

Mom brought it to me as a ski trip souvenir.

Or a Hemlock Blanket (for the house) in this Taupe Cotton Ease.

Is a yarn reclaimed if you never finished the original project?

Or something else entirely.
