Ay yi yi…

Yesterday was particularly painful. I'm glad you all agreed with me that the yarn was h.i.d.e.o.u.s. No further discussion or second guessing needed on that piece of clown throw up.

But I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. I need to just press enter and run for cover, it's getting difficult to talk myself into putting more of these up.

Hmmm... how to describe why this one wasn't chosen...

Is "I don't like it" enough?

Because I don't like it.

And I refuse to dye it again.

It has kind of retro '70s vibe, don't you think?

Sort of. In a bad way.

Sigh.

I think you can learn five things about me from this parade of rejects:

1. I learn from my mistakes

2. I have the perseverance to try, try again.

3. I love coffee.

4. I take pride in my work and really believe in every colorway I sell.

5.  I've spent too much time talking to yarn.

Well it might look good dressed as an Easter egg...

Well, I do like the blues....not so much of the orange. You'll get there!!

That reminds me of the proverbial Partridge family lunchpail.

I must have ZERO in the way of taste, but I love all of the "rejects." LOL!

So when are we going to get a little peek at the keepers?

It is not really ugly--like clown vomit. It is just kind of blah, with no deth or richness--very predictable yarn (if there is such a thing).

I have to agree with Carolina. Easter Egg. A 'Not-yet-stepped-on' Easter egg. Not as bad as clown vomit, but not as good as Mr. Boring and Mrs. Blah.

I must have a bad monitor because I really like the first three in the parade of rejects.

I agree on this one. It is very confused. But I still like the others.

Yes I thought of Easter eggs/Easter candy or pastel fruit loops hee hee It isn't ugly by any means but I more than likely wouldn't choose that colorway ;) I love your colorways Sharon,your a good Yarnista :)

I've getting an early 80's vibe, hee hee.

this one...well, I think I just don't like that blue with the other colors...the idea of it is ok, but the blue just doesn't work for me...especially in the second pic.

I agree with the fruit loops take on it. Not bad, but I wonder what it would look like knit up. That could be interesting
