I decided that my next big project will be a throw using the nine skeins of Sweet Roll Cinnamon Pop (which you see here in the big beautiful basket I made with some of my Herrschners mystery yarn), so I started trying out some patterns to see which one appealed to me.
I began with printing out three patterns from Yarnspirations that I liked, and got a neutral worsted yarn from my stash to use for test swatches.
Right off the bat I saw the first had partial treble crochet stitches, which are difficult for me to manage and require a lot of attention. I don't mind a more challenging pattern, but this one went outside my comfort zone.
The next one was a ripple with double crochet solid and lattice rows. It's going to be a yarn eater, so I'd have to add white or another color, which I don't want to do.
The third is a ripple as well, and combines stripes of double crochet and granny stitch in the ripple. It's interesting, and I like the look of it, but it's too much like some others I've done.
I also tried the monkey bread throw pattern written specifically for this yarn, and this is a bit too challenging for me as well.
I pulled a pattern from my notebook for a bulky motif throw and tried that, but the instructions gave me a headache.
Since I can't decide on anything, I think I will set aside the Sweet Roll yarn for a bit and make some smaller projects while I continue pattern-hunting.
