Should have been born in the '40s.

Thanks to multicrafty for your pattern. Though let's face it, it's just a bunch of rectangles, isn't it.

I know it's not much to look at, technically speaking, but I'm still disproportionately pleased to have made my knitting comeback with this chunky scarf for my goddaughter. It's a tad bobbly along the sides, and I only realised you're not supposed to knot new colours together once halfway through - on my third attempt. I've also had to cover up a few schoolgirl errors with the buttons and ribbon. So we'll put it down to experience. She's only three anyway - who's to know.

..is what my latest attempt looks like. This is true of both the pink/purple stripey number being created, with attempted nochalance, for an unsuspecting 3 year old, and my latest mangled attempts at legal drafting.

Knitting merrily and rather self-satisfiedly away on the knorthern line this morning, and thinking how easily knitting big wool on big sticks came to a girl with big hips was apparently the equivalent to the karmic forces of a sea flare sent up on a stormy night. Ineptness (tying knots in the wool to change colour, instead of moving, literally seamlessly on) and inertia (5 wasted hours in a library making this blog) settled in.

The following simple and unbiased method of self assessment should motivate me soon enough, surely:
Prod-knit-ivity: 0
Proscrastknitcation: 10

Ours is knit to reason why...
