I'm a Knitting Fool aka Is It Cold In Here

So I finshed my knitting lessons a couple of weeks ago.. I finally decided on my 1st project.. It's a scarf and I like how it's coming out.. I'm on my 2nd no make that my 4th attempt at it though.. The original one that I started was too thin since I was following the instructions and only did 16 stitches,... well I guess my yarn wasn't thick enough and when I got 8 or 9 inches in I realized that somehow I had reversed the pattern and tried to take a few rows out and wound up undoing the whole scarf... ARGH! Ok I thought, I'll just start over... famous last words.. especially since I added in some more stitches to get a better width. I had to take it all out again and then got a knot that I couldn't get out.. ok try again.. and again..

I've got at least another 7 inches going and the scarf is the right width (20 stitches seems to be the right amount). I might actually get the scarf done before Winter starts since it needs to be a total of 45 inches.. I may even make another one for Lee.. if there is time before winter gets here.. maybe by next Winter..
