If I did that I guess I'd have to make sweaters that actually fit the wearer they were intended for, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-42851944841275001732007-01-17T11:31:00.000-05:002007-01-17T11:31:00.000-05:00Two additional thoughts:

If they plan on coming back, terrific, and if they work on knitting between now and then, even better. But since this is how I make my living, and not how they make theirs, I will never give them grief for not having done "homework" or practiced or anything between classes. It's a hobby, and as such NEEDS to take a back seat when the rest of life gets in the way. LIFE needs to come first. The hobby just needs to stay enjoyable.Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902177995467607477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-72315645892013557682007-01-17T10:10:00.000-05:002007-01-17T10:10:00.000-05:00Since I suspect you won't see it, wanted to send y...Since I suspect you won't see it, wanted to send you to this link, which I'm sure will get me flamed ad nauseum.<br /><br />And I'm okay with that.<br /><br />http://knittersreview.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=71568Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902177995467607477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-51018351504728706122007-01-16T23:51:00.000-05:002007-01-16T23:51:00.000-05:00I know, I saw Laurie's blog today.

But really; some people need to get a grip.<br /><br />I knit in my *ahem* copious spare time, and even working hard at it, it takes me a week to make a single sock. Because I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO.<br /><br />I was shocked that there were people out there so obsessed with knitting that they were giving Laurie a hard time over what she does/does not knit.<br /><br />Laurie seems like a sweet person and takes the time to write a fantastic blog. When she blogs about knitting, it's icing on the cake. Laurie actually does have the skills to move on from scarves, but doesn't want to. So what? Entirely up to her.<br /><br />I kid you sometimes about knitting only Flat Things, but really, it's your business. I'm here because I enjoy your writing and sense of humour.<br /><br />Some people need a good smack.geogrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935352129240009810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-8732404686811249412007-01-16T19:07:00.000-05:002007-01-16T19:07:00.000-05:00Miz C
