The Process


I don't ever set a goal and say something like, "I'm going to knit or stitch a complete whatever every week this year or every month this year". I know some folks always have a stitching goal. Well, I have a goal and it is to just enjoy the process. I don't really need to knit or stitch (heavens forbid that I said that). But, think about it, we are not crossing the Plains in a covered wagon. Everything I need can be purchased. So, why do I knit?

It has to be the process. It has to be the colors of yarn, the feel of the material slipping through my fingers. The process of taking a string and making fabric that is soft and warm. The process of getting comfy on the couch with Fonzie cuddled up beside me. Yes, it is definitely the process.

Your words are perfect - the exact reason I think many of us knit. Goals???? Too pressing - it's nice to relax and knit and know that when it reaches it's end, it will be finished!!!!!

Hope you are having a good day.
