Rrrrriiiiippppp!!!

Right. In the last few weeks, I have finished two baby booties, a baby hat, and a yarmulke. During that time, I have completely ripped out a 3/4 finished sock, a 2-foot-long scarf, and an entire skirt.

The scarf had already been ripped back about six inches and re-worked to (completely fail to) fix a mistake, and the skirt begun over from the beginning once.

I also had to rip back the crown of the hat and the yarmulke because I screwed them up the first time.

Any way I calculate it, I have accomplished a net loss of knitting. But, since the joy is in the act of knitting (right?), I've actually come out ahead, since I'll now get to do twice the amount of knitting.

Yeah.

I'm right there with you. Cael, my dog, ate 2 of my new dpn needles b/c she's mad that my husband is out of town. So, I get to rip is back... and so many other things I really want to rip back and just not even think that I did them.

What is it with dogs and knitting needles? Are they that tasty?

Yeah, the sock was my "yeah, I'd rather not admit how stupid I was." I have no idea what I was thinking when I made it, because it was obvious that it was way too tight, and yet I kept on...
