… but I am a knitter, and I am blogging, so it is going to come up. To be honest, sometimes it seems like I am really more of a re-knitter than a knitter. Last week I decided I wanted to make a scarf for my Aunt’s birthday. Her birthday was Monday, but I knew I would see her Sunday for the baby’s birthday. I would have had the scarf ready, but the baby pulled it off the sticks and I had to start over. I kept at it, despite the frustrations of ribbon yarn (any suggestions on working with ribbon yarn, btw?), and messed up as I was casting off. I couldn’t figure out how to fix it, so I unraveled it again. So, last night, I started over. Same scarf, different yarn: I finished it this afternoon while the little guy splashed in the inflatable pool in the backyard. Third time’s the charm. So maybe I can blame my struggles on the yarn and not my knitting.
