I grew up with all those hokey/cutesy crafts brought home from school art projects usually getting tucked into a drawer, so the idea of anyone wear anything I made at this point is still a pretty foreign idea.<BR/><BR/>Now that I physically hang out with costumers, spend time online with other knitters, and teach crafting, that idea's turning around a bit.<BR/><BR/>Happy Holiday Knitting to all!Horse 'n' Roundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904907833510696750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894179663818815705.post-84655719538883079062007-12-02T02:22:00.000-08:002007-12-02T02:22:00.000-08:00I Do It because it is one of the few skills that I...I Do It because it is one of the few skills that I easily caught onto (of course there were the beginner bumps, but I learned/am learning quickly and easily) and ran away with. I do it because I love the way yarn feels in my hands. I do it because every nice item of clothing I wear (ie, I wouldn't buy in a store because of the exorbitant price), I made myself. And because handknit socks feel GREAT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894179663818815705.post-23035003083236869302007-12-01T18:54:00.000-08:002007-12-01T18:54:00.000-08:00I'm still a relatively new knitter, so my urge to ...I'm still a relatively new knitter, so my urge to give knitted objects as gifts is somewhat hampered by my glacial slowness.

I also like having something to do with my hands while watching TV, having a conversation, or during a lecture. <BR/><BR/>Also, giving away handmade gifts is wonderful. I have a series of scarves I wear around, then give away to random people who compliment me on them. No one ever expects it, and it makes people so happy. And there's nothing like sharing the love. :)Salty Miss Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603806796783950508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894179663818815705.post-49475599960259763832007-11-29T06:35:00.000-08:002007-11-29T06:35:00.000-08:00yay :) I started as a way to deal with stress, whi...yay :) <BR/><BR/>I started as a way to deal with stress, which turned out to be very handy for the big move...but then so many people helped us along the way, that I don't know how else to thank them except with Kate-made things. So now giving gifts that are NOT knitted feels kind of like giving gift certificates or something...where's the love?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
