FO and then think "bla."??

[NeedSleep]

So I just finished the Seija car seat blanket from the SnB book and was so excited while making. I loved the yarn colors I chose and enjoyed making it, but now that it's done I'm not feeling it.

 

Now, this is only my second FO other than about 5 amigurumis (my other was also a baby blanket and I loooove it).

 

I used Bernat Satin in a light light yellow, chocolate brown and aqua blue. (I'll post pictures tomorrow after I can take pics in the light.

 

 

The edging turned out kinda off....it's wobbly and wavey. I have no idea what's up with that.

 

 

 

I wet it a bit and laid it flat and it looks a bit better, but I have a feeling it'll go back to wobbly when I move it... plus, I thought you weren't supposed to have to block acrylic??

 

:(I'm just not excited about the finished product. Do you ever FO something and then not really like it?

Absolutely. In crochet, knitting and sewing — in everything, in fact. Over time I've developed a fairly good but not perfect sense of how my sewing is coming along but I'm not so skilled in either crochet or knitting that way. I think everyone does this sometimes, NeedSleep! On your blanket if the edging is all you don't like, could you remove it and add a different one or just leave it off altogether?

I did my adult BICO in my favourite claret/wine colour and loved it for about3 days then I just lost the feeling for it.

 

I still love all the elements and the edging is so nice but it just went ...blah!

It happens to me too. There were a couple of Project Linus blankies I've made that I loved doing and then after finishing them off, they just were not quite what I had in mind. They're all nice and usefull and will make someone very happy, but just don't make my heart sing. It happens with everything (especially it seesms, new dinner recipies....)

I just did that. Loved the Nordstrom Hobo Bag (a CAL here) but couldn't get the stitches right, so I changed them to hdc. I did it in white for a summer bag. Added the lace and did pretty good on the lining (first!). But it is way too small (maybe because I did hdc instead of dc) for even my basic stuff. So I don't know if I'll ever use it. I would like to use something like it, but not sure now.

I also am like that. I work on something and while I am working on it I love it, but once it is finished I don't always like how it looks.
