second chances

As I cast on for a purple scarf for my scarf project, I kept thinking about my purple top for the Phildar knit-along and how sad it was that I'd stopped working on it. So I pulled it out of its project bag and took a good look at it. I had to look back at the old entry to recall why I put this aside in disgust. Looking at it a second time, it seemed fine. I'd been concerned about the size, but it seems okay to me now. So, I thought, what of that idea to reinvent it as a vest? Any way to do that without ripping out the 5 inches I'd already knit? Without having any real plan, I said yes, and started knitting from where I left off. Quick, before I change my mind again!

I'll probably cut off the bottom half inch or so and add a ribbed band to it, then work on doing something funky to the front.

And as for my purple skirt, I guess I haven't quite forgiven it yet for going all wrong on me. All my sewing is on hold until I work up the strength to rip a couple more seams and give it another try.

Good work picking up an abandoned project. I hate doing that, myself.
