I didn't see the green in the yarn the other day, and I didn't see the yellow in this:
In fact, I still don't see it. In any sort of light. I took the picture because the zig-zags really appeal to me. Also, I've never minded variegated yarn pooling. It fascinates me, to tell the truth. This is a Plymouth Yarns worsted that is actually rather soft and nice to work with. In my life of experience with yarn --- both before and after I started knitting --- so much acrylic worsted felt like cardboard. When I was going through things at my parents' house, I came across so many sweaters that were scratchy and stiff. Of course, that's all I knew; Mama only worked with really good yarns when making things for the knit shop. She was a pennysaver extraordinaire. I never shared current yarn prices with her --- she would have been aghast.
If you're interested in a cute baby hat, may I suggest this from Stitch & Story:
I made this last night. It needs to go to a baby with some head control: that pom-pom could tip someone over.

Zig zags for the win!
Is it wrong that I pictured a baby wearing that and falling over due to the pompom??
I made an Ohio State hat for my son years ago and the pooling of the red and gray yarn was fascinating. He lost it almost right away but I still have pictures!
Very good thoughts! THAT POM IS enormous. I love the look
Gorgeous hat and I actually love that sizeable Pom Pom . I can just imagine some little sweetie pie toddling along and this bobbing like mad! :-) keep well Amanda x
