Knitting Craving

It is very rare that I knit something solely for the purpose of knitting it. I usually knit projects with clear intentions of keeping it for me or of giving it to a particular person. Recently, I was looking through my yarn cabinet and was overcome with the urge to knit a lengthwise scarf where I changed the yarn on every row and left the tails as fringe. So, I did. This made for great TV knitting, the color combination pleased me and I sated my urge to knit a garter stitch project. Now, I just have to wait until the right person/gift giving occasion comes along for this scarf.
