I just started knitting again after not doing it for a few years. I got some fun yarn for Christmas.
The first few stitches are really lousy, I forgot what I was doing and now I don't know if I should start over or keep going. What do you think? I'm trying to make a really wide scarf.

It represents deez nuts.
Actually, I just thought the yarn was pretty. It was called 'stained glass,' I think. I like how the colors are saturated but not too bright and neon. They're like dark saturated.

i would suggest going thin just because if you go wide it fricking takes forever.
every knit you add onto a row you're increasing the overall knits exponentially.
I also find it easier to work with when you have space on the needles and its not completely covering them like that.
It's up to you though. Wide scarfs are great but they just take a lot longer.

I haven't recently but yeah have made a few things over the years.
And by things I mean scarfs, because they're the easiest thing to do.

I have decided that I'm going to make it less wide than I did when I redo it, but I still want it to be wider than a regular size scarf.

Yeah I do too. It just makes it take a lot longer though and you can get tired of it before you finish.
But just keeping it in mind and going for a middle ground is good.

America is authoritarian in government and fascist in Wall Street, who runs the economic model. You'd laugh if I told you that you live under fascism and authoritarianism and you'd probably flee to freer countries.
Corporations collectively decide who to hire, what to pay, what to raise wages by, how to exploit and trample on their employees, what the education, experience, age requirements are, whether are not you deserve benefits, how safe and ergonomic is your working environment, how much of your wages to steal or unpaid work, how long you work, how long is your vacation, how much workload, how much to verbally abuse you and etc.
Modern classical economists have said wall street, corporations and small businesses are like mini governments and anything except physical abuse goes. Wall street is political donor class so government becomes authoritarian (aka taking or reducing your rights) and introducing neo-liberal (pro-wall street) polices. Buddy, nazis may have killed the jews but the 1% will steal your labour, slave you away, and these days lead to an untimely death (slow death by a thousand cuts).
But I need a car, a house, a vacation, home time, enough for healthy food, retirement, medical, student debt, marriage, kids, hobbies, miscellaneous expenses. Wall street will say you poor bastard and import another one or lock you up if you try resisting. Would you flee if you're not the established class already?
In history people have killed the tyrants or left. Those who stay are dumb farm animals for them to thrive on and hopefully they reproduce and stay blinded by debt and servitude with materialism, sense of "american dream 9-5 duty", credit addiction and internet/electronics addiction (aka stockholm syndrome). There is really no precedent to this turbo-techno capitalism system we're facing.
Why did this happen? They went off gold, so that's why it feels money feels like coins in an arcade. It wouldn't be possible otherwise because it would destroy the currency internationally to print so much. America had 80% of the worlds gold after ww2 and had the opportunity say to every country, starting now US dollars replace gold and are not backed by it.
