"you don't have to feel bad if you are the sort of knitter who doesn't finish a lot of stuff. many of us are in it for the process rather than the product, and this has only to do with personality differences, rather than moral superiority. sure, it's hard to remember that when other knitters sit smirking in their new sweaters and you are starting your 57th first sock of a pair, but keep this in mind: it's called "knitting," not "sweater making."purls of wisdom ; from stephanie pearl-mcphee's page a day 2009 calendar
a good reminder for all of us. we each have our own knitting personality, style, speed, and goal.

that's a great quote...I like that a lot...no pressure, it's just knitting!
True! True! Just enjoy the process, that's what I do. Have a great weekend.
you have grown so much since awakening your creative spirit. and i so look forward to hearing the "good word" you have on your thoughtful days.
yeah!!! your blog looks so sunshiny and springy!!! love your new header!
so true that it is easy to want to create at the pace of everyone else and that is not how it should work
Great reminder! Just like most things stay in the moment and don't worry about the end.
I love this quote! thanks for sharing this kristyn!
I love that! It described me to a T, and removes a bit of the guilt and shame I carry at having so little to 'show for' with my knitting. ;-Þ
I cracked up at the 57th first sock of a pair comment. I'm not quite there, but too embarrassingly close for comfort! ;-)
