It is no fun. Your final dress turned out beautiful and I hope it does grow on you :)Kristin at SunnySewing.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445370690561159996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-39128859966173686722015-04-24T14:49:20.744+02:002015-04-24T14:49:20.744+02:00That's such a shame for you - it's always ...That's such a shame for you - it's always so demoralising when the image in your head doesn't translate into reality. For what it's worth though, I think the sneak peek of it looks really striking - are you sure it's as bad as you first thought?? The knit looks absolutely stunning, but then your knits always do :)Danielle Krivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10423009648089810339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-15441591625260774552015-04-24T11:06:15.751+02:002015-04-24T11:06:15.751+02:00Hello Marie, nice to meet you ;) The yarn is "...Hello Marie, nice to meet you ;) The yarn is "Hverdags" from "Du Store Alpakka".

A lot of times what seems like a great idea in my head ends of being less than stellar in real life...maybe in the fall, with a cardigan, you'll like it.<br /><br />The pattern and color choices of the yarn are spot on -- can't wait to see it finished.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968938319199781696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-33336166382072893372015-04-21T16:30:36.758+02:002015-04-21T16:30:36.758+02:00Yes, that's what I thought too, but then I did...Yes, that's what I thought too, but then I didn't love it after all.
