I had to laugh reading Ren's - Fonzie Knits - blog - "Three rows knitted, four rows out". That is SO common in almost any craft you do. I made a comment on Ren's blog that whenever I have to take something out because of a mistake, after taking it out, I just pretend that I never did it in the first place and just go on with it. It's a mind thing - ha ha.
This leads to a scarf that I'm now knitting. Prior to this scar
f, I was using this yarn, Lion Brand Wool-Ease, to knit the Diagonal Lace scarf that Ren introduced to our knitting group on one of the first classes. She had one that she had knitting and I feel immediately in love with it - I HAD TO KNIT THAT SCARF. Well, I started on it, it was a new technique to me and believe me, if you took your mind o
ff of it for a second, you were either starting over and trying to figure out just where you were. So, needless to say, I got pretty good at this technique, because I believe I took it completely out 3 times. Then I really started moving on it. I probably have about a fourth of it completed and for whatever reason, put it aside. Not a wise thing to do. When I picked it up about 2-3 months later, maybe not quite that long, I couldn't remember how to do it and it was like starting from scratch. All of a sudden, I didn't like it anymore, it seemed too wide - it seemed like too much work and SO - I took it out.

I then found another pattern - not as wide that I'm now working on - it is a Sampler Scarf and so far I think I like it!!! So, no m
atter what, don't give up - if you aren't happy with what you are working on and know that you will not like the finished product - do something else. Or, if you still think you will like the project - make yourself fix the mistake and keep going.
