I've been making a latch-hook Eeyore pillow for Elizabeth. She's been helping by counting out the pieces I needed. I was not too pleased with the kit, though. It appeared the yarn company had put two very different dye lots of the same colour in the package.
It turns out they're actually two very slightly different colours, and I just hadn't read the pattern thoroughly enough before I started. Oops.
So I went through on the back, picked out enough of the darker colour so that I'd have enough to do the pattern, and just left the rest. Then I repaired the holes I'd left. Half an hour wasted, because a month and a half ago, I couldn't be bothered to compare the colour chart to the yarn samples.
I take back the nasty things I said about the yarn company while I was working on it.
