Free: one laugh at my expense
A post in the Livejournal knitting community clued me into something: I used Wool-Ease Thick & Quick for my cabled sweater. The pattern calls for Wool-Ease Chunky.

Isn't that funny? Ha. Ha-ha.

Now I'm taking a poll: should I redo the sweater in the CORRECT yarn, or just wear the very bulky thing? (I imagine that I'd like it better and wear it more in chunky yarn, though it's not altogether awful right now.)

So much for a cheap, quick project!

To add insult to injury, when I was at Hancock Fabrics picking up the buttons (they're mediocre and I might just return them) I browsed the yarn aisle. They had Wool-Ease Chunky in a nice fuschia color. "Hmm," I thought. "That would've been neat for my sweater. Too bad it's the wrong size."

Mon dieu.
