So many people have asked, "Why do you take so long to knit something
that takes so long, when you can go to the store and get it in a couple
of minutes".

You know, people ask me that about sewing all the time, and I have to
tell them that when I make it, it is the right style, the right shape to
fit me perfectly, the right color (and us earth-tone lovers can have a
hard time finding things sometimes), the right fiber content and
therefore the right garment care, etc., and that's something that I can
never just walk in a store and pick up in a couple of minutes.
