"Ethics" –Sunday Scribbling
I’m withdrawing from knitting Olympics. It might be silly since it is only a personal challenge. Before the Olympics began I had seven rows already completed. My plan was to rip the rows out and re-cast on after the Olympic flame was lit. When it came time to rip out the rows I couldn’t. I couldn’t rip out rows with no mistakes.
I could just finish project without ripping back. No one would know when I cast on. I even considered subtracting the amount of time the seven rows had taken from my time. No one else would have known (most wouldn’t care) and the prize is only a web button. But it would have been a lie. I still am going to aim to finish the slippers this month just not as part of the challenge.
