I frogged it....

So I frogged the Blackwater Abbey Aran hat. Nothing wrong with the yarn, nothing wrong with the pattern - just that the pattern and the yarn don't like eachother. I chose much too dark of a shade of yarn for that pattern. I think that was proven when I sat down to knit on it after having put it aside for months and couldn't visually tell which cable pattern I was supposed to be knitting. :( The color was so dark it just swallowed the pattern. I still want to make the hat though - I will just find a lighter colored yarn.
