If you're not knitting, the terrorists win

(My mostly on-topic ramblings about knitting. And life in general. My life in specific.)

I'm a middle aged mother of 2 grown children and wife to a man who doesn't seem to mind my almost heroin-like yarn addiction. I spend my time writing, knitting, and generally stressing out.

Loopy!

Here’s a clever little scarf. It’s the Super Loops Scarf. And what fun to knit.
Basically, you knit this entire thing in garter stitch, then instead of binding off the last stitches… wait for it

You drop them! Ha!

And then you ladder them down… all the way down to the bottom… like a bad girl! Everything inside you is screaming No! I’ve dropped stitches and they are creating a massive runner all the way down! Everything, that is, except this one tiny piece of you that’s snickering wickedly as you use your fingers to help that runner along.

Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

Anyway, what you are left with is this: a loopy edge. It makes a nice, conservative fringe and no one would suspect that you broke any knitting rules (like the rule against dropping stitches)!
