Why did you hate knitting it? And by sending me the pattern, does that mean you wish me pain and suffering?

I started a Koolhaas over my winter break, and gave up for the same reason. I just wasn’t enjoying it…too many cable crossings or something (and I *like* cables!). I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who wasn’t digging it…it sure seems like everyone else is knitting dozens of them!

I may not post a comment very often or at all, but I wanted you to know that your blog makes my day. So much in fact, that I awarded you a “Make my Day Award”. I hope I have made yours. When you have a chance please stop by and check it out http://www.twocrazyknitchicks.blogspot.com/

And you are not the only one to have not loved and frogged :)

Have a great day!

It was great meeting you on Saturday.

I can’t believe the hat’s already come and gone. As for me I’m just barely getting going on the scarf you helped me start. Onto the second color. Yea! Next time I knit something (which could be in a year) I’ll learn how to make a fun pattern or something :)

looked gorgeous and I admire your willingness to let it go! I don’t doubt you’ll make something equally beautiful with the yarn. it was good practice, in any case!
i am relatively new to the world of knit blogging and yours is one of many that inspires me to make one myself. just wanted to say hi and thanks!

eh, there is no shame whatsoever in disliking the traveling stitch. it’s fiddly to the max. nice colorway, tho!

Way to repurpose – life is too short to knit what you don’t want to!
Your crafternoon looked like such fun!

I hear you! There’s no way I could do those cables on the train, so my skein of Malabrigo is still sitting on my desk… all wound up with no place in my knitting bag.

First time commenting here. I, too, made a Koolhaus and thought the experience was not pleasant – my hands hurt from so many ktbl cables. I finished mine, though, and I like how it looks. I wore it twice. The last time I had a friend ask if I’d make one for her. I think I’m going to give her mine so I don’t have to make another one!

Liberate that yarn! I love Koolhaas but I’m not sure I’d enjoy knitting it either.
