Leap of Faith
I decided to re-knit the scarf I started here. I thought I would do it on circular needles so that the feather and fan scallop would go all the way around. I measured before I cast on so it would be the right length but I just can't tell if its going to work now. Knitting scarves in the round is a total leap of faith. I just have to trust myself and my instincts and my measurements because there's no telling until I cast off. I keep drawing a metaphor between all these things in my life and this scarf. Is this long distance relationship going to work? Will I be able to find a creative job in this down trodden economy? And everyone keeps asking me as I'm knitting, how is this going to come out? Will it be okay? Baby, don't stop believing.

All I can say is that you are just a sweetie sweet potato. That's all I can say. -slimmom
I bet it will work out just fine! I can't see why it wouldn't if you've done the figuring and cast on enough stitches... in fact... I think it's a brilliant idea!! You are truly a knitting ninja. Actually... This makes me think about a story on cast on a couple of months ago about a designer in England who designs hats knit flat and sideways. I don't know, something about turning your knitting on it's side and something called the "kirchner stitch". It all sounded very complicated and exciting.
don't ever ever stop believing. I think everything is gonna turn out beautiful. you're my pretty bunny nose.
love & respect,
rachel :)
