One of my current WIPs, a Holiday Doodle cowl, has been giving me fits. I kept trying to start, and just could not get enthused about it at all. I just could not get the right yarn for one of the colors I wanted to use.
First try – that yellow is way too bright.
The next try was closer in color to what I wanted, but was a really dense, heavy acrylic that didn’t work at all with the other yarns.
Third try. Much nicer yarn, but now the color is more Velveeta than gold. If I work in a pattern area about festive processed cheese, this will be my go-to yarn.
This one was just right!
And once I had the right yarn, the project just started to flow.
Have you had a project thwart you lately? Do tell!
Quite A Yarn 
Festive processed cheese project 😂 🤣 oh goodness I hope that one day happens with the cheese coloured yellow yarn. In the meantime those final colours look gorgeous together…but one day I hope you find a festive cheese pattern.

Velvetta – ha! Looking for that processed cheese patttern, lol!
I like the one your chose, that is a rich deep brassy-gold!

Me too! Now it’s a thing. If I can’t find a festive processed cheese pattern, I might need to make one 🙂
Thank you! I think it is the best one too.

No thwarting by the project, just my lack of knitting mojo! Love the color range, can’t wait to see what it becomes.

Started a cowl, and twice now I’ve thought of ways I’d like it better. Frog, frog, frog. I think I’m on the right track now. Maybe.

Sometimes you just need to frog until it’s right!
