My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...

I think
I will never finish another knitted object. Instead I will come home from work and spend hours on the couch reading knitting patterns on Ravelry.... and then maybe tomorrow I will knit.
I so understand the compulsion, the addiction, the NEED to surf Ravelry!! However, I must finish the second in a pair of mittens, so I am TRYING to cut back. Paulette in WV
