Wadder Scrunchie

A "wadder" is what you get when you've sewn a garment and it's come out so badly you just want to wad it up and toss it. This was supposed to be a cover for a plastic headband, but I underestimated the required yardage and ran out of yarn just over halfway through. I was pretty annoyed by this, and the only thing I could think of to do with it was to put some elastic in it and make a scrunchie (which was not super appealing either, since I have short hair). After I sewed the ends of the elastic together, I realized I'd twisted it. So, wadder.

The yarn is elann.com Limited Edition Tarantella, which comes in very pretty colorways but is a bit splitty. (Splittiness seems to be exacerbated when the project is so small!)  The color in the photo is really bad and does not look like the actual yarn at all.
