If I feel like I'd have to rewrite it to suit me, I usually don't end up using that pattern at all. My mostly finished 28Thirty is probably the most I've destroyed a pay pattern. Most of it was subconsciously as I changed it to suit my tastes, even though it's technically "wrong". Oh well! I am not a fancy pants yarn lover. I knit with Caron Simply Soft as easily as Cascade 220 or handdyed yarn from you or others. If it will suit the project, my tastes, the color I want, and price, I'll knit with just about anything. And I'm totally a product knitter. I just want a sweater. I don't care if it's lace or a cool stitch pattern. I want an easy to follow pattern (doesn't have to be "simple" though), I want yarn I can work with, and I want a design I can wear. It's probably why I don't mind knitting six inches of 2x2 ribbing on a sweater lol. Can't knit a shawl because I don't need a shawl. Probably won't knit socks because I rarely wear them. You get the picture. Wow, so that was a wordier comment than I intended. :D Normally, I can tell pretty quickly in a pattern if I’m going to follow it or destroy it.
