I am loving Ravelry. Except I have a lot of knitting to do. I joined a gift-a-long group to help set goals. I set some goals. Now I have two hats and a scarf to knit in two days time! Yeah so I’m not very good with goals, at least not in a linear or methodical way. I have been knitting, but not what was on my list!

At least I can cross one thing off that silly list, this scarf called Huckleberry Ascot.
This might be a good way to learn about short rows because no integration of wrapped
stitches is needed.

It’s been a long time since I’ve knit in garter stitch on straight needles. No purling was nice, but it wasn’t as easy as I’d reckoned. There’s always a bumpy stitch to contend with! How I prefer knitting in stockinette stitch on circulars; it’s much friendlier and easier on the hands too. Garter stitch does not grow very quickly. It seems to really eat up yarn too. 153 yards didn’t allow for much mileage and I ran out of the cream colored yarn. I didn’t get discombobulated over bobbles. I had the the same yarn in another color so I simply used that for the bobbly bits.

Why on earth did I spend hours knitting a measly short scarf? Oh yeah, I forgot. It’s because I like knitting!
