Here's my story: I started this scarf a while back. Originally, I was doing a simple 2x2 rib, but then I found this awesome pattern and decided to make myself a baby alpaca scarf with the new pattern. It was so incredibly soft to work with, and I couldn't wait to have this scarf for myself. I only had a little bit of time each night to work on this, so it took a while but I finally finished.
And then I put it on. It was prickly. I couldn't believe it. The softest yarn I had ever worked with, and it was prickly on my neck. I didn't have the heart to undo it because it was so incredibly pretty, so I decided to hold onto it until I found some other project to use the yarn for.
I started making fingerless gloves with my gray baby alpaca yarn and absolutely love them. The yarn is perfect for them and I have already worn my pair several times.
So now I'm at a crossroads. Do I unravel the purple scarf and make some more fingerless gloves, or do I keep it as a finished scarf and try to sell it? I obviously can't wear it, but I've met and read about several people that really love it as scarf material. I suppose my neck is just a bit more sensitive. Anyway, I'm still deciding, and could use some outside opinions.
What do you think? Keep or Unravel?
it's really pretty but you can't sell something you wouldn't want to wear because it's uncomfortable. I would unravel it.
