Ugh... I'm so pissed... I could cry...

Ok, I just posted the following at the knitting yahoo group I’m apart of in Dallas.

For those of you who were at the last knitting group (c. and d.)… you know what project I’m working on… for those of you who don’t… a scarf… made out of lion brand homespun...

I finally finished with the first ball a few nights ago... I put it
down for a day or two for a breather... its about three-and-a-half to
four feet in length... another ball and I’ll be done... woo hoo...

i picked it back up today to start the second ball...

ARGH... I’m in knitting hell...

when I picked out the two skeins... I looked at color to make sure
when I finished one ball... the second one would pick up as closely
to where the first one left off... smart thinking one would think...
and so it was...

However I failed to take into account the fluffiness... caused by
the tension thread in the yarn... they sure as hell don't match... and I’ve tried to make it work...

I’ve lessened... and pulled tight the tension thread to make it puff
up like the other... its a no go... and you can tell how thin the
thread knitted looks compared to the first half...

I’m in hell... I’ve spent the last two-and-a-half hours trying to
find a solution... other than pulling out all of what I’ve knitted
and shortening the width... or doubling the thread which would never
work color wise... or trying to return it and finding a better match
(good luck on me finding the receipt)...

I’m at a loss... anyone have any ideas that might work... I’ve put it
aside for now so I can cool off... I’m stressed and disappointed... all that hard work seems to be going down the drain so fast... and
until I find a solution... I really have nothing to knit until I can
get different sized dpns for socks...

I need a drink... or two... or six...

I’ll catch you guys later... cheers mates...

It really is sad to do all that work and have it blow up in your face. I’m so over that damn scarf. I need to go and de-stress. But how do I do that when knitting is what relaxes me? Ugh! I’ll find something I’m sure. Cheers mates.
