PFFT! to legwarmers

Well at least your little fellow is warm , met a woman who knitted little socks and sew little shoes for her tiny dogs ,,, i don`t kniow if they like it ,,,, but they look like Puppets. mirjam

Sometimes when knitting is misbehaving it needs a time out and for you to work on something else....

Or if you get bored with a project. I have a lot of those...

Ah yes, but at the end of the day, we all know what we enjoy the most to wind down.... MAKING OURSELVES CRAZY WITH KNITTING!

MysWendy ,, i hope that was a joke ,,, no way do i make myself crazy with knitting , We have enough unkind words from those who don`t know/ enjoy/like knitting , why add such deffinitions to ourselves ,? I am immersed in knitting i like knitting , on the month with cast on arm i was unhappy for lack of ability to use my hand ,,,, i leave unkind terms to the Jealous unkind types , who are envieious of our gift of being able to fill out time with a creative craft/art ,, mirjam

Actually, knitting is not what I enjoy the most. Neither is sewing. What I like is the end product, which is a garment that has the right fiber content, is the right color, and fits far superior to what I can find in ready-to-wear (and I can't afford to have clothes made for me) so I focus on the goal.

GOOD GRIEF GUYS, IT WAS A JOKE. Sigh. If we didn't love it, we wouldn't do it.

Ah, a sister in spirit. I feel that way about knitting, sewing, crochet etc., but I was taught not to sit with idle hands so I knit etc.in front of the tv, at meetings, sitting in waiting rooms etc. so that the time is not wasted. (Of course, the admiration I get from friends when I appear in something custom hand made doesn't hurt).
