Knit Happens ~eventually!~ 7 months ago

I finally finished my scarf..ahem thingy.
The result wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. I made it wider than need be and I’d run out of yarn and it was a colour the shop no longer stocks. It had taken me so long to get this far that I would have just been happy to call it a day in the name of experience. However, this afternoon, after casting off I decided to turn it into something a little different. I remembered I had some buttons which would match perfectly (green/black, a wee bit retro) so sewed them on and it’s now a collar/scarf thing (I’m sure there is actually a name for it) and I’m actually pretty happy with it after all. Think I’ll even wear it out in public. I have it on now and it’s rather cosy too.
However, I think my knitting days are over. I just don’t have the time nor patience for it.

Excuse the zits in the photo…I’m off to review my ‘look after my skin’ goal…

That is so nice...

... well done….

Please don’t give up… There’s a whole world of knitting out there for you!!!!

It is tempting.

I nearly bought some more yarn at Spotlight today as I’d love to be able to knit something wonderful. I’m just so slow though and I know it would take a while to become competent. My friend (who I just mentioned in my other post) has a couple of knitting books published.

I so wish I could knit some of those designs. I love the gloves on the cover.

I know you think you might be slow now, but if you do some say, every night while watching telly, you would soon pick up speed…

In It For The Gravitas might bond with the pod after all

Those things are all lovely! The frames and the jewelery are especially great; and this collar thingie is real cool, imo.

Yay! to creativity!

Thanks for the feedback. It’s nice to have a little creative outlet.
