Boucle Yarn, Never Again
Years ago, I bought some boucle style yarn because it was on sale (I was very new to knitting.) Over the weekend, I tried to start a blanket out of it and, well, I realized what a mistake that was.
At first I liked the warm, drape-y texture. But then knitting two stitches together was a *nightmare*, and the pattern I picked required picking up stitches, and I couldn't see the stitch I was supposed to be picking up. Then I tried to bind off, and it's like the bind off *shrank* as I did it.
Overall, 2/10, would not recommend.
