Knitting with loves

So there was this scarf... a really really long infinity scarf knit up in the most vibrant shade of spring green you can imagine. So wonderful I tell you- like a fresh spring bud.
It also happened to be knit up in a slightly fussy lace pattern- not forgiving in the mistake department. At one point I messed up so terribly that I realized I would have to unwind roughly 5 roughs  (330 stitches a piece) and quite frankly, I was simply not up for the challenge. And so it sat. It the victor, me the defeated.
For weeks. For months. For a year! Meanwhile not a whole lot was coming off my needles due to the looming  scarf  over in the corner ! I really needed to  deal with it but couldn't seem to muster up the courage.
Until a couple of weeks ago that is. A few hours later I was back on track. Phew! Its finally done! What a relief. I feel so FREE!
And so, since then, knitting has found its way back into my life.
Our life I should say.
William and Simon have started as well. I didn't think they would be old enough but thought they might as well give it a go if they were interested.
Turns out they do just fine!
It makes me giggle to see them both cuddled up on the couch knitting together like two little old men.
