Beautiful scarf, those Noro people know what they are doing when it making beautiful color combinations for the knitter's palate. <BR/><BR/>I did work very hard once on a wall quilt for a family member who now uses it as a pseudo-table runner...(insert eye-roll here).<BR/><BR/> Sometimes others just don't get that it is not merely stitches, time, and energy, but physical expression of love in a tangible form. Perhaps that is why it feels of rejection when not appreciated.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you returned to knitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944764317419042021.post-31682454704627473102009-03-30T20:39:00.000-04:002009-03-30T20:39:00.000-04:00on the other hand, there are people who love your ...on the other hand, there are people who love your gift so much that they use it frequently and wear it out, to your horror. happened to a t shirt i made for a friend. the colors are super faded now D:<BR/>for blocking: http://crafts.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Blocking_Knittingyokoteihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463822327573291197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944764317419042021.post-82983534109853091342009-03-29T17:50:00.000-04:002009-03-29T17:50:00.000-04:00Your scarf looks great!

I once made her a really difficult hat for Christmas and she took one look at it and said "huh" and threw it aside. This is why I don't knit for other people very often anymore.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on finishing your scarf! Hope your sock is coming along too!LotusKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946121363713731731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944764317419042021.post-75630931722458778702009-03-27T14:18:00.000-04:002009-03-27T14:18:00.000-04:00You are absolutely right.

Good Job! <BR/><BR/>In regards to giving gifts to unappreciative folks, I think we all have someone in our lives that don't receive hand-made heart felt gifts well. However, I thank God for these ill-behaved people, bless their hearts. Without them, we wouldn't appreciate the people who do receive gifts well. The ones that open your gifts with enthusiasm and excitement, the ones who lavish on or "wow you made this for me", or the ones who don't make a huge deal with words about the gift, but use/wear it all the time. Hip-Hip-Hooray for the fun-to-give gifts to people!~~~~~mushroommommyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
