Like Jessie said, I do it to relax, to play with fiber and to make things. If I'm making something for a gift, then, the more unique it is (ie: can't be purchased at a store) the better, but I want my stitches even, no mistakes, etc. I want it to look professional, but personalized. I think the personal element it key. You can make a sweater that fits YOU perfectly. You can choose colors or patterns that fit the recipent just right. And it fulfills the need to make something.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you brought this up, because sometimes when I'm knitting socks, I laugh at myself for the time and effort I put into something that will get worn out and how easy is it to buy socks at the store.hesirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485779437613235657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31777566.post-9157182136798411322007-10-02T10:33:00.000-04:002007-10-02T10:33:00.000-04:00Yep- Rose is magical.

There are those people who will religiously count their treadling or whatever to get a perfectly consistent yarn and I've seen some beautiful stuff. For me, I just want to spin: to get into the zone, mellow out, and make some yarn in the process. If it's not perfect, I don't care. The plying and knitting mask my inconsistencies and if it's not falling apart or totally twisted, I'm a happy spinner.<BR/><BR/>I hope I'm not too late to chime in on this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31777566.post-6025378738359111392007-10-01T18:12:00.000-04:002007-10-01T18:12:00.000-04:00Hey, these things happen!Hey, these things happen!--Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503615321799912549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31777566.post-84163372275208249602007-10-01T14:43:00.000-04:002007-10-01T14:43:00.000-04:00I have a Rose.

In fact, she already has a name — Lida Rose, like the song from The Music Man. Why? Because the Rose is so very smooth and mellow.Redford Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916938166489000981noreply@blogger.com
