Matter of Fact

Knit Theory

At the first class, the instructor pointed out that when you undo a piece of knitting that has a mistake in it, the mistake is gone, just like mistakes in our lives can be if we change our ways. Cool, I thought. So after that first class, when I’d learned, in theory, how to start making a sock, I undid my goof-laden knitting a whole bunch of times, and started over. Finally, I decided if I kept undoing every time I made a mistake, I would never get done. So I kept going despite mistakes, and ow I have about two inches of a sock on my needles. There are lots of goofs. But life is full of goofs, too. If you keep fix them as best you can and keep going, there’s a chance you’ll get something useful in the end anyway.
