I took a break from knitting over the weekend. I don't think I've actually knit since our Knit Group on Tuesday, where we did spend more time eating pancakes and fruit than we did knitting!
The problem with this is that I have nothing to show for it. Sure, I've been out and about, and read 3.5 books but that's all in my head and so I feel like I have nothing to show!
I think that's the best part about knitting. Sure, its fun to mix colours and make presents that someone really loves, and there's that surge of pride when others compliment your work, but really it's that there is something concrete to show for your time. You aren't just sitting and watching TV, you've been BUSY! There must be something every human needs, to show fruits of your efforts from years of foraging, building, hunting, cooking, to the lives we have now. Even when I finish work I shut down my computer and I haven't felt like I've created anything. The screen goes black and my work disappears. Enter knitting and I've become a happy bunny!
What makes you happiest about knitting?
