Homespun
I ripped apart a knitting project I started over a year ago, that I was not really happy with and therefore sure I would never finish. I had been eyeing up the pretty Homespun yarn I had been using and decided that it would make a very nice hat. So I pull out my patterns and select a pattern that is actually for homespun yarn, pull out my K.... and wholy toledo. Homespun is so pretty, so soft, but I was having a very difficult time crocheting with it. Does anyone have any pointers on working with Homespun in crochet? I have previously made a baby blanket from it and remember now that I had to rip and restart many many times until I was happy with it, or just accepted it. (I don't remember now which) Is it just me?

Hi, I found working with the Homespun yarn difficult as well. I did find however that after the first 3 or 4 rows it does get easier. Once you get the feel and notice how the stitches are forming with the wavy yarn it does get easier. I am working on a afghan right now and it took me a while to get the hang of the texture. Keep at it and you will see that you love the yarn :)
