A Disappointing Project

I'm one round shy of finishing a hat I've been working on "forever".  I'll finish it this afternoon....but I HATE it!  I love cotton brimmed hats for the spring and summer months...they're colorful and serve a purpose.  So...I tried using a skein of yarn I had in my "stash"--Paton's COTTON TOP.  It's ply is uneven and it's full of "lumps and bumps"--they way it should be.  But, it's just not suitable...it stretches...I mean REALLY stretches...and the stitches look uneven.  If I sold that in my eBay store, I'm sure they consumer would be just plain pissed off.  Know what I mean??  So, I'll give the hat to one of the thrift stores and move on. 

*Sigh*
