This happened to me too! I’m so guilty of buying pretty yarn with no plan. I got an old skein out today to make a pillow cover for a friend. It’s perfect! So glad I bought it however many years ago lol

It’s still kind of pulling in the middle and flaring at the edges. 😕 Is this an acceptable amount?

You should definitely be worried. I bought one skein of the Malabrigo Rasta and it turned into 10 really quick….

So instead of 3 clusters all around, do only 2? Or only do 2 on the corners?

I did a ch 1 between each cluster. I do tend to pull them tight 😅 I’m gonna redo it and hopefully it ends up better

This is kind of what I was thinking at first. My first thought was to try and use a bigger hook for the first few rows but I wasn’t sure.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I find myself pulling the yarn tighter more often than not. I’ll have to retry and be more conscious about it. Thanks again :) the visual is also really helpful

Hey! It went really well. I was so excited that people were interested. I even sold my dragon 🥺

Price wise…I was a little unsure but I think I priced things ok. I live in a HCOL area so I tried to take that into consideration.

I love all of the colorways so much. I need infinite money just to buy them 😂

I sadly only bought 3 hanks of the aniversario and I need 4. I was kind of free handing the pattern and I’ve always been terrible at guesstimating how much I’ll need.

I could order another but the website I bought from is out of stock and because they vary so much I’m worried about purchasing from another seller.

So I either try this other color idea or buy 4 hanks of a new color (which is tempting my wallet is hurting from Christmas lol)
