to frog or not to frog...

Along with voting on what to do with the leftover (very cute) fabric from KZ's chairs, please also vote on the following question: What do I do with my ugly knitting? Do I rip it out?

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

on the needles now...


Here's what I'm currently working on: the kusha kusha scarf from habu textiles (http://www.habutextiles.com/webfile/kit-78.html) It's pretty frustrating going because the yarn is so thin and slippery.

It's rough because I have to pay so much attention to it while knitting Despite the frustration, the yarn is actually kinda neat: one of the strands has a stainless steel core so it has a "memory" and stays in whatever shape you want. That doesn't really make sense, but I tried to demonstrate with this picture:

What are you all working on?
