Noro vs. Noro

After almost 3 weeks my 1st Noro from ebay arrived. Yay...or not. My plan was to dash through some basic 4 hour hats as Xmas gifts. On the left you see the photo from ebay that convinced me to buy this color. On the right you see my actual yarn with the beginnings of the basic hat.

Apparently I thought I was buying green with some yellow, peach and red accents, when in fact I was buying yellow/khaki with peach and green accents. Yes, I am an idiot. I should know better. I hate it! And stockinette isn't helping any. This means I am headed back to ebay, where the same seller offers the patterns for 6 Noro hats for $4.95, so I can at least make the hat interesting even if I don't like the yarn colors.

In other non-jarn related news, I may be moving in a week. Eeeeeeek!
