After the fiasco with my Delight crocheted bolero from Delight, I swear to never buy this yarn again - however, I already had bought 5 skeins as they were on sale….

So I came across this Drops pattern and was inspired by this project - the pattern is normally for a heavier yarn.

There are berries in all of the colours contained in the yarn, so it qualified for the “Die Beeren sind Los”-KAL in the German Drops group - and as KALs in this group are always a lot of fun, I am in there!

However, I will just knit a circle with slits for the arms and see how far the yarn will take me - my version will for sure be sleeveless or with only small sleeves.

I used nearly a full ball for the centre and started with the second shortly after the arm slits.

Sep. 5th: Finished knitting of the body - hm. Pre-blocking, the edges curl a lot although I did 6 ridges of garter to finish it. Size is ok, but I am not sure what to do for the arms - no “real” sleeves, but cap sleeves or just a few rows of garter stitch? What do you think?

Sep 8th Washed it - baaaah!
Photos taken on the chair and back with me wearing the pink T-shirt underneath are after blocking - better, but still not ideal…
It looses hair like a bird in the Mauser! Let it dry flat on my terasse table - now the ruffle is gone, but I really doubt I will wear this a lot - I really, REALLY REALLY detest this yarn! And the fit/wearability of this thing also is not really what could convince me…. Anybody wants to adopt this thing!?

Sept. 12th Hm - I am wearing it for the first time today - might be not aaaas bad…. The collar is nice and warm in the neck and I closed it with a magnet button.
