Knitting is Negotiable

When knitting a new project, one thing I can always count on is that until I say so, the project's not finished. The knitting can be undone, the knitting can be altered, the knitting can be changed.

Recently, I began on a purple scarf, using Bernat Boa yarn and double-point needles. I used 36 stitches, and nearing the end of the skien, the light dawned. The yarn would only make a miniature scarf, maybe of 2 feet. So I take it out and over and begin again.

Perhaps I'll make a scarf this time, or maybe just decrease the stitches. Either way, I'll remember I CAN ALWAYS UNDO.
