Earlier I wrote this little story about my sudden urge to knit a scarf. Shortly after I added that entry I started knitting enthusiastically. In just a few days I knitted, what looked liked the perfect scarf. I tried it on immediately. Hmmz… something was wrong. The scarf didn’t fit snug around my neck and when I persuaded it to fit snug I couldn’t move my head. Bummer, this wasn’t going to work. I decided to unpick the thing and start all over again. Just a few days later I was really pleased with the new and improved result. I couldn’t wait to try it on, so I flung the thing around my neck and……. was shocked! The result was the same! Still no snugness! Arghhh. I had to unpick the thing again.
So…. Yesterday I started my third attempt. This time it’s not the fancy design I was going for, this time around I’m going for a plain and simple scarf. If the result is not to my liking I’m not going to unpick it again, I’m just going to donate it to charity or something.

I'm sure if you donated it, someone would scarf it up ;-)
That's cool you can knit. My Dad's Mom (also known as my Grandmother, who I never met) was an incredible knitter. I've been called a knit-wit, not sure that counts
Hahaha...scarf it up!
I think everyone can knit. It’s just a case of holding two needles and a bit of yarn. You mess about with it a bit according to some instructions and then you are knitting.
In my case I guess it's in my genes. Both my grandmothers were knitters, so is my mom and even my father could knit.
Does knit-wit count? Hmmz.. let me think about that one………………..Well, I am in a good mood today, so YES it counts :)
