Over Christmas and New Year's, I made a hat. The yarn was a very expensive impulse buy....mYak....and seemed really nice. One of the skeins did have a knot in it...which at this price point was annoying. I used the pattern, the Pressed Rib Cap, that the yarn was shown with...which was plain but nice.
I decided to skip doing a gauge swatch and just drop down a needle size and go for it. This...was....a mistake. The hat is....fine...but not as tightly knit as I prefer. I am wearing it anyway as I hate to waste such expensive yarn. I know I could rip it out and reknit it. I could....but I just don't want to do that.
As I am a big proponent of swatching, this was something that should not have happened. The moral? Don't be lazy.
