This is the second part of the top 5 posts inspired by Crafting a Rainbow. This is so much harder than a top five, because sometimes nice things just aren’t practical. I am evaluating on use, because I feel like evaluating on fails would highlight my learning techniques more than the finished work.
Top 5 Rarely used/not practical items:
1. Wiksten Tanks in Pink Batik and Butterflies
I have literally never worn these out of the house. The neck gape and sleevelessness just don’t do it for me.
2. Scout T with planes
I still love this pattern, but I no longer work with six year olds.
3. Self Drafted Mixed Fiber Mittens
The fibers are dreamy, but these are oddly long and pointy.
The last two items pain me because I loooove them, but…
4. Fingerless gloves in cashmere
I just don’t need fingerless gloves, no matter how beautiful, soft, and magical. sigh.
5. Featherweight cardigan in Taiyo Lace
I do wear this, but it stretched out awkwardly, and is definitely too light to function as an actual cardi. I know when I come home from work it’s off in a flash, which is a bad sign.
