I have had a tendency to like most of the "nicer" projects I have worked on. They've turned out the best and they are things that I actually wear (or the people I have given them to actually wear). I think it's because for each of these projects, I have really taken the time to pick out the right yarn and the right project, since they represent a significantly larger dollar investment than those that I have just thrown together. The problem is that these other projects still represent a decent sized dollar investment that are now lying piled on my dining room chair or the coffee table. I have made a truly hideous scarf, a shrug that I can't seem to get comfortable wearing because I am always worried about how it is sitting against my back and a dead muppet poncho that I'm still not sure I will ever wear.
I think I am finally coming to the conclusion that these projects may be better off in the frog pond. I think each of the bigger projects still represent about $35 to $40 in yarn that could possibly have a better life made into something else. Besides, I'm not rich and that's a lot of money to throw away. I wouldn't have a problem giving them away, except I really don't think anyone would want them. So, one day when I have enough strength, I think I will sit down and rip them apart. Actually, now that I think about it, I get a secret joy out of destruction sometimes, so it may turn out to be kinda fun.

It seems like a royal pain but a great idea...hmmm...maybe I'll frog my pink scarf that I'm not too happy about. Origin of scarf: POL. You can take him from me, but I will always have him in some form!
That's my pink tubular monster. Maybe if I'm up for the public ridicule, I will post a picture. It taught me that I wasn't quite ready to improvise yet.
