Today I am sad
Because last night I found a hole in my Corsica...
One of my felted joins wasn’t done so well and it came apart. I know ya'll will say but you can fix it!...
Problem is I just don’t wanna. There are little bits here and there that i'm really not happy with cos I know I could do it better.
Fibre Fiend is updating the pattern to include larger sizes as we speak, plus the cascade 220 has started to hurt my hands. I'm not sure if it’s this particular hank that I’m working with or what but it’s become very, very scratchy. When I try it on my arms scream -"NOOOOOoooooooo" it’s not very nice.
I've washed and blocked my swatch in some eucalyptus wool wash, to see if it affects the softness. Even a single wash seemed to help it a bit.
So what I thought I’d do is frog the whole thing. Rewind them into hanks and give them a good long bath in the wool wash to try and soften them up before giving the project another go.

Having the larger size patterns will help me... and i've realised that i'll probably need a smidge more yarn, sigh.
Meanwhile i've got 6 hanks of luverly malabrigo sitting all alone in the corner... such a waste. I think I might put this on the back burner for a while and start doing Wicked.... at least there's a KAL for that in the malabrigo Rav forum....

Sorry to hear about the Corsica :( it is good if the updated pattern will be easier for you to work off but I know it's annoying all the same.
