Give them something cheap from the discount store and either wear the scarves yourself or give them to someone who WILL appreciate them Olwyn Mary in New Orleans. -- Just to add to Olwyn Mary's comment: if it turns out they like the items from the store and at least give a thank-you, then you can stop trying to create something yourself that they will appreciate. If they don't value beautifully hand-knit items and prefer mass-produced gifts, then that's what you should give them(if you feel like giving them anything at all, of course). Happy knitting and stay well. Carey, thing IS, both mother and sis DO realize intricate work and handmade items 'value'... however, they're both (mother more than sis!) COMPLAINERS by nature, so there's no pleasing them/her. Noreen -- I am not young enough to know everything. http://www.lulu.com/content/292418 - - - - - --- avast! AV: Outbound message clean.

Olwyn Mary has a point here. Why waste your time trying to "impress" or "please" these people? Knit/crochet/whatever for people who do appreciate it, and stop beating yourself up about them.

On Sat, 19 Aug 2006 10:34:09 -0500, YarnWright spewed forth : however, IF I do, I already know that 'praise', thanks, or credit for something well done and also 'nice' to *do* WON'T be acknowledged. .... You're a better woman than I. I no longer give gifts to people who don't at least acknowledge the gesture, and I certainly don't give handknits to them. +++++++++++++ Too many years of *trying* when it comes to my mother especially have me gun-shy, and I'm going to give 3 of them to the oncology dept. at the Nashville VA, where the baldy-chemo ladies WILL appreciate them!

I'm dealing with a similar situation. I was all set to knit a whole
bunch of things for my future granddaughter (my 1st grandchild due in Jan!) and I realized the parents to be are not enthused at all by the idea of hand knit items. I've knit a few things, but I won't knit as many as I thought I would. I'll wait a few years until she is old enough to tell me herself that she wants these things and then go crazy BB Finished two more moebius, totally revamping Cat's pattern to suit me... hoping to get pix up 'sometime' this weekend.
