Knit Focus

Saturday it was cold and I needed to get to the farmers' market.  Donning my layers, I pulled a knitted hat out of my box of wooly items, put it on, and decided it was too big.  Hmmm...I have never taken apart a project that was complete, but this time I will because I love the yarn.  The plan is to undo all the decrease section, and finish it back off as a cowl.  And I decided that that was the last of my hats. (Sorry, P.  You will have to be content with your quilt.)  Life is short, my queue is long, and making projects that have to be a certain size is just a bother.  

On the other hand, I am almost finish knitting a beaded shawl for my sister-in-law, and I have to say that it has been such an enjoyable project.  The pattern is interesting.  The beads along with my markers help me keep the pattern on track.  If I do make mistakes, they are easy to correct.  It is a pretty, sparkly bit of  woolyness.   Ahh, shawls...I love them.  Cowls are fun, too, and I don't mind throwing in a scarf here or there.  Life is short, my queue is long, and creating snuggly warmth for necks and shoulders is what I am going to do.

Since all my shawls, cowls, and scarves are knitted on circular needles, the question is...do I keep all my double-points?
