Hi Mirjam and Katherine,
Why is this a waste of time and yarn? Just because it is non- functional or representational? While I may not personally care for the imagery of some of the objects (although there are several I find amusing), I like the idea of using non-traditional media, such as knitting, to address traditional themes in art. Functional or non-functional, I think sincere creative effort is worthy of some respect. Hesira On Aug 12, 12:34 am, (Mirjam Bruck-Cohen) wrote: Katherine i tottaly agree with you !!! mirjam |

It looks like marvelous fun to me! Could someone PLEASE translate some
of the information? I am totally lost here and can't seem to link on anything. I would love to see more of it and understand what it is about. As far as "a waste of time", I myself enjoy the challenge of the logistics of knitting dog sweaters--and I have no dog. I enjoy the challenge of creating complicated, tiny doll clothes--and I have no dolls. I enjoy making interesting and fun hats--I have only one head. I knit for the pure pleasure of it, as well as the intellectual stimulation. Almost all the hats, scarves, mittens, etc go to local charities for my community. The doll clothes go to my SIL for her pleasure. And the dog sweaters? I hope to sell some through a local shop that is run by a friend in town. If I were to knit only for myself and total utilitarian reasons, I would've stopped years ago. And what fun would THAT have been? Wendy A Knitting Fool in Connecticut |
