Just Thinking

As I knit along on my Jaywalkers I'm wondering if I'm the last knitter to realize that it's okay to leave mistakes in your work. I mean, it is okay isn't it? I've screwed up here and there on the pattern but not that anyone would really notice if they weren't looking. So, rather than rip out, I've continued on. The other question is, God forbid, will they be looking? As we begin to realize how global this knitting community really is, am I now running the risk of meeting up with other Jaywalker knitters, say on the MBTA or in a restaurant? Could the individual possibly glance over, see the beautifully hand knit sock, and exclaim Jaywalkers! I'd be caught. I'm as guilty a Catholic as they come so I would immediately assault the fellow knitter with a katrillion apologies, pointing out each and every flaw in the sock. Maybe we've come on to something here. 2006 - the year of keeping it to myself. Thanks, I like my kitchen too. Thanks, yes I did make that, isn't it nice? Thanks, this old crappy sweater that I've worn for 10 years is nice isn't it? I'll have to think on this one. I'm not big on resolutions but this one could work. I'll let you know how it goes, really, and I won't apologize if it doesn't work out!
