Finished two more moebius, totally revamping Cat's pattern to suit
me... hoping to get pix up 'sometime' this weekend. I've just started the 4th one this morning, too. I *might* give two of them to my sister and mother as gifts... 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. ..... Hugs, Noreen -- I am not young enough to know everything. http://www.lulu.com/content/292418 - - - - - --- avast! AV: Outbound message clean.

Sheesh, woman, you are motivated! I'll be lucky to have finished a
couple pair of socks this month. That's fine with me, though. I still hope to have that Absolutely Fabulous throw finished for my friend's wedding gift not long after her wedding next Saturday, and if I remember I'll take a picture of the finished product, for a change g The Other Kim kimagreenfieldatyahoodotcom "YarnWright" wrote in message ...

My sentiments exactly. When you take the time to make something special, it should go to someone who will appreciate your efforts. ;) Shelagh |

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 in MA |

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.

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. +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |

Not exactly 'motivated' as my housework can attest! Seriously, tho, moebius go SO fast, and the pattern is mindless.... I finished number 4 this morning....
