A Nightmare on Haley Rd.

Anyone remember this incipient vest? The Harrisville Flax Wool affair I started the better part of a year ago, then frogged, then restarted way back in June? Well, progress has been slow - very slow - but I've been trying to pick it up and do a few rounds here and there while we're watching movies. And I was doing okay with it, getting ever closer to dividing for the armholes.

Until a few nights ago, that is. While we were watching Freddy Krueger devour an impossibly young and adorable Johnny Depp, I was happily knitting away and then looked down to notice....

Shit.

I would have sworn they were from the same lot, but the ball bands are long gone, and anyway it's obviously a moot question.

Frogging time, yet again.

Yikes! The dye lot differences don't generally show up quite so well in a photograph. That is, um... "distinct." It is at this point where I generally shriek like there's been a murder, scare the cats and go knit a dishcloth.

And eat chocolate...

Yeah, that's gotta be frogged. Maybe this yarn doesn't want to be a vest. . .

Poor Johnny--so young, so beautiful, and not able to fend off sleep and survive the movie.

And poor you, having to frog again! Hang in there.

Um....that's a PITA that it.

Been there, done that; you have my sympathies.
