day 10: not a keeper

This is what I was making with the yellow yarn. It's Calorimetry, and it's way too big even thought I made gauge and stopped the short rows early. I think I read way back that this happens with this pattern, but I decided to try it anyway. I guess I mostly just wanted to use the yarn. It's a really pretty yarn, but truthfully, I have too many yellow undertones for it to look good near my face. I keep trying to wear this color though. Here's post Christmas shopping with my mom & Eva:

ME: I think I'll try on this bold yellow sweater. (I put it on.) There, what do you think?
EVA (age 7): Well, it's not so much your color.
ME: Well no, but maybe it could be my color.
EVA: It's just, well, you look a little sickly.
MY MOM: (snicker) She's good.

It's OK. I think this yarn wants to be a bag anyway. Something like Erin's maybe? I'm frogging it.

I know I really fell off the old posting daily wagon. I just couldn't put two words together. The posts would have gone something like this: "Um, tired. Brain fried."
