Well, yes, she loved the snood.  But she loves it so much that she’s stretched it out by half again, so it doesn’t fit nice and snuggly round her neck anymore.  It hangs down over the top of her coat and leave her neck exposed to the cold wind.  So, I’ve bought another ball of wool and cast on to knit it over again, this time a bit shorter (smaller).

I don’t mind — it’s a chunky yarn and I’m knitting on 8mm needles, so it won’t take long.  And I wasn’t really happy with the seam on the last one, so I’ll get it right this time and not have to go and re-sew the other one.

It’s the knitting I enjoy, much more than the finishing, so it’s not a waste of time…  it’s a chance to enjoy the knitting again.

No, honestly, it is!
