I decided to use up some stash yarn that I have and love.... a Fleece Artist called Nyoni in a blue grey blend. It's a wool/silk blend and I was super stoked to get a project started with it.
So I was testing out a few patterns, and I have to say that I was surprised by some results I got.
The patterns I used didn't look right, so......... I realised that it's not the patterns, it's the yarn. LOL
So I decided to pull out another yarn that I have been wanting to use, a Malibrigo Lace in Purple Mystery. The pattern you are seeing in the pictures is called Cassandra and the link to the Ravelry information. Sorry that's the only link that I could find for her, so I will do what I can to be informative. It's going to be a nice little shawl I think, the lace is coming along quickly, and the chart works well.
So a side by side. So, note to self.......... it's not me; it's the yarn. Maybe it would be a nice hat or a good pair of gloves. I'll find something good to do with it.

I discovered the same thing with a Silk/Wool blend! This yarn was so particular in fact that it took me a handful of years finish the design I made with it...
