..or unknitting.
The Mobius scarf looked like this yesterday, but as soon as I cast off the needle, I knew it wasn't right.
Too long.
Too loose.
Too droopy.
Not wide enough.
So, out it came. Pity I'd done such a terrific job of working a picot cast off.
Will have another go with half the number of stitches and a smaller needle size soon.
Let's hope I don't overdo the redux.

A record of my journey towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life" Not there yet. Some way to go!
I knit, I sew, I embroider, I paint and draw and occasionally keep a journal. I do funny things with paper, paint and glue, I make books and other stuff. Not much of this is of any use (with the possible exception of the socks I knit) but I find fun in everything I do. I love colour, texture, pattern and want to do it all perfectly - preferably in the next five minutes. When I'm not making stuff myself, I'm teaching someone else how to do it (or teaching someone else to teach someone else to do it)

Sorry about the scarf Gill, better luck next time. You're somewhat quiet at the moment. Hope everything is OK and you're just busy.
