Being that the yarn was a dark colour it made it almost impossible to find the ends to start tearing it out. <br />Good luck with the hat - hope I'll get to see pictures!Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-57092356275601520962021-08-28T08:21:09.761-04:002021-08-28T08:21:09.761-04:00Using the sequins certainly made the stitching go ...Using the sequins certainly made the stitching go faster on that one so perhaps there was a method to my madness?

Odds on, you'll find some clever way of using it later. Were I younger I'd take to the string sculptures like a duck to water.
