Look closely (click for bigger). The red color speckles are running. Grr.
This was supposed to be a gift for a baby due any second. Unacceptable.
Next life: dishcloth. A plain ugly one. No cute ball-band goodness for you! (Stupid yarn.)
The pattern is the "Heartbreakingly Cute Baby Kimono" from Mason-Dixon Knitting. And it is not only Heartbreakingly Cute, but also Super Fast, Really Easy, and CHEAP.
Also heartbreaking with the running dyes.
Thankfully, I went on a booty kick a while back so I have a stash of booties on hand for emergency gifts. ("Booty kick" - heh.) But still. I really wanted to make this baby a sweater. Rats.

Hate it when that happens. I'd complain to the manufacturer.

Ouch!
That is too bad :(
Oh, man. That is one cautionary tale. That really, really sucks. I hope you were able to knit up a new one in no time. It is really heartbreakingly cute.
Wow that is the worst kind of knitting mishap! What yarn was that, anyway? I am about to cast on that same pattern for a baby due in October, but I'm going to use the new Berroco Comfort and if I can finish it with one skein, it will be the cheapest gift evah - $5.50!
