If you hate variegated or striped yarn like I do....
I just started crocheting about 2 months ago and the first yarns that caught my eye were the self-striping yarns. After my first project (wrist warmers with a matching scarf) I quickly decided that I really didn't like not having control of where my colors fell in a pattern. So I have a bunch of striped yarn about. I am in the process of felting a bag that I designed and when I ran out of the solid chocolate brown yarn to piece it together, I went into the yarn pile and found a striped yarn that matched with some purples and pinks and ash colors in it (mode dea). I used that to edge all around the bag and it looks great! In that context, it looks like the color is controlled, and I can use up the variegated yarn I have left using the same idea. I'll post a pic of my bag once it's done.

UPDATE...I realized when taking this picture that the rosette was off center. Now moving to my WIP pile until I feel like messing with it again...:]
