Story of a Piece of Knitting

I started knitting a triangular scarf last November - probably around the time I took this picture on November 26, 2024.


The scarf became a major winter project and grew exponentially.


This is the pattern. (Looking at the name of the pattern - Nightshift - I wonder if it was designed and knit by someone who was working overnight shifts at a hospital! One of my relatives used to work overnights at a nursing home and she'd often knit and crochet during her breaks - there weren't many people to talk to.)


Back to the scarf!...I then added some colours I didn't really like - at least, not together.

When I realized that, I stopped knitting. What to do now? 

I put it aside for a while, planning to revisit it later... which I did.

I then decided to undo the colours I didn't like. But by then, spring had arrived and I put all my knitting and crocheting away.

Now - November is here again (November  2025!)  I think it's time to take it out and resume, hopefully to finally finish it! It's supposed to be about a third larger.

But first, I have to revisit my stash of yarn scraps. My plan was to make it only using yarn leftover from other projects... Hopefully I'll succeed.
