ysobel...I got kinda bored with my current tcro project, so I decided to switch. (Switching crochet projects is so much easier than switching knit projects omg.)
The next project in line was fingerless gloves, made with a pretty fingering-weight yarn, kind of plum color with flecks of yellow and blue and red and green.
So I pull out the ziploc with the yarn in it, and discover that one of the two skeins is attached to an in-progress scarf. It's only about seven inches of progress and I'm not likely to ever continue, but I didn't want to frog it yet, so I went to the other yarn.
Um.
There are reasons why it's good to start with a light-colored smooth yarn of middling weight.
This? Is dark-colored yarn, fingering weight (so not the tiniest ever but fairly fine), bumpy where the color flecks are, and extremely splitty.
(And the pattern calls for simple stitch, which will be okay in the final product [if I ever get there] but is curling like a mofo. Possibly a Canadian mofo. [hurr I am so funny] Which makes it hard to see the front of the fabric to make sure I'm getting the right strand.)
/rocks back and forth, whimpering/
