i've started a scarf. a yellow one. i have started it FOUR times. first i didn't like the stitches. i was trying to do a skinny rib (knit one purl one) but it just was not working so i switched to a wider rib. with a wider rib it shrinks the width so it was too skinny so i started it again. then i messed it up so i started it AGAIN. etc.

so i added 8 more stitches to make two more ribs. unravelling this was really painful. but i'd rather work on something that is exactly what i want it to be rather than spending hours on something i know isn't as good as it could be.

friday night went to the second soft opening of cold tea. good people, good place.

so besides making the scarf i also spent the weekend cuddling cats. the heat isn't on yet and furry heat is welcome. i have discovered the joys of a hot water bottle.
